Default raising to protect vs. calling to extract value with overpair

BB is aggressive and probably views me as weak tight. If I just call on the flop, I'm fairly sure he will bet the turn. Does the flush draw make the raise correct, or am I not extracting enough value by reraising on the flop?

Thanks.

but yes, i like the 3bai because of the flush draw (and the K). cut off the action before villain's response when you repost this.

how does the K change things? it's not better to let him draw to the other 2 Ks if he has one and extract more bets?

edit: ok forget this, i'm stupid. I assume you mean that he's more likely to call the all in with a pair of kings than a lower pair.

I like your play.

If your opponent is aggressive, he probably doesnt put you on AA and perhaps has top pair himself. Maybe he also has a flush draw.

I think that your all in bet was good, (and thats what I would have done), because I expect that your opponent will probably still call with his Kx.
