Default KK against flush board

Stars $5.50 SnG (45 players), early doors. I've taken down a couple of pots on the flop. Then this happens...

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t20 (7 handed) internettexasholdem.com

BB (t1080)
UTG (t1390)
MP1 (t1450)
MP2 (t1520)
Hero (t1670)
Button (t3140)
SB (t1790)

Preflop: Hero is CO with K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#CC3333">UTG raises to t60</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP2 calls t60, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t240</font>, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, UTG calls t180, MP2 folds.

Flop: (t570) 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">UTG bets t120</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t1430</font>

No reads on villain.

Ok, so if he has two diamonds I'm a dead man. Ditto bullets, but then he would probably have re-raised PF anyway.

I'm thinking from his small bet maybe he's paired the flop, maybe he's got a diamond. Maybe he's on QQ-TT. Pot is 810 after I've called his bet, so my raise is around 1.2 times the pot.

I'm denying him odds to draw, and taking down a nice pot... right?

I think this is fine...Villian might put you on a single diamond draw ie. Ad or Kd and might call with single pair hands.

i think calling and pushing over a non-diamond turn might be a stronger line with more FE but meh...in a $5 SnG, he's calling with all sorts pre- and post- flop so either is fine.

I thought about calling, but another card I don't want to see on the turn is an ace. That takes the number of "bad" turn cards from ten to thirteen. As you say, meh...

No. Villain has ~45% equity with A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]2 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], enough to call. Reverse the situation, would you fold 7 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]?
