Default overbet KK UTG with many callers

Friday night,borgata,2-5 NL.Average table.Two LAGs who were winning, nothing remarkable about other players.
I'm UTG with KK (about $700 behind).Table perceives me as tight.I open with$25-Standard raises at this table are 15-25.Six callers-very unusual to see so many callers from an early position bet.
Flop comes 2 3 4 ,two clubs.
$175 in pot,7 players.
I bet $300 with the intention of taking down the pot immediatly, or if someone wants to draw ,there pot odds and implied odds are now terrible.
Everyone folded and I took down $175.
Good move? Stupid move?
I briefly considered smaller bet($100-175) but was afraid of the loose player next to act calling and causing multiple callers which would tremendously reduce the value of my holding.
Appreciate any and all opinions.

if everyone at the table is drawing in a -ev fashion, that's good for you. You're play is equivalent of some guy limping utg for $10 and you shoving AA for $1000 so you don't get outdrawn. u should probably read small stakes or micro stakes, not sure.

Although overbetting in this instance might not be too bad (example, people go broke with overpairs).
