First time stacking somone at $100NL!!!

Cooler / suckout, but still nice to have! I know a previous post showed a stackage, but it was posted out of order from this post, which was my first actual stackage at the 100NL tables.

P.S. - I think I have the #rungood turned on!

Full Tilt Poker $0.50/$1 No Limit Hold'em - 9 players
The Official DeucesCracked.com Hand History Converter

UTG+2: $75.10
MP1: $193.55
MP2: $161.20
CO: $58.60
BTN: $124.50
SB: $40.50
BB: $125.20
Hero (UTG): $101.50
UTG+1: $50.85

Pre Flop: ($1.50) Hero is UTG with Kd Kh
Hero raises to $4, 2 folds, MP1 calls $4, 5 folds

Flop: ($9.50) 3h 9s 2c (2 players)
Hero checks, MP1 bets $5, Hero calls $5

Turn: ($19.50) Ks (2 players)
Hero checks, MP1 bets $12, Hero raises to $30, MP1 raises to $184.55 all in, Hero calls $62.50 all in

River: ($204.50) 8c (2 players - 2 are all in)

Final Pot: $204.50
MP1 shows 2h 2d (three of a kind, Twos)
Hero shows Kd Kh (three of a kind, Kings)
Hero wins $201.50
(Rake: $3.00)

Edit: Copied from my comments below
My flop check was out of caution. At the higher levels, it seems most of the time hands that are typically first to enter a pot from an UTG raise are small PPs, and less so suited connectors. I've come to see that a lot of the premium PPs & AK are 3betting. There's also a lot of squeezing going on.

This is a fairly uncoordinated board. I'm not saying I put him on a set on the flop, because I probably didn't, but his $5 lead bet either puts him on air or a set (excluding the A4 / 45 drawing hands). If I raise the flop, what types of hands can call me? Potentially drawing hands, but I'm generally going to fold out your A9, Ax hands for the most part. (A thinking player seeing a 4x raise from UTG has a fairly well-defined range for the most part; QQ+, AK). I don't want to fold out those Ax, top pair-type hands, so I call. Then I get lucky on the turn.

If I don't hit my K on the turn, I'm probably raising regardless, but when he shoves all in, I think I have to conserve my last $~30 by folding it (not 100% sure I'm doing that, though I am getting better at folding out my overpairs). Clearly, when he shoves, he believes he's stronger than me, regardless of my hand.

    Thanks! I'm running like a God in $100NL (Rush); 7.51PTBB/100. I'm sure it's not sustainable, but I'm enjoying it while it lasts!

    Wow, that was a light bet for him on the flop when he hit that set. He basically screwed himslef by not pressing his nuts. Would any bet have gotten you off that hand on the flop?

    Funny enough... no. I don't think any "reasonable" bet would have gotten me off the hand. If he bets pot, I'm calling. If he bets $20, I'm reconsidering a call (but that kind of bet would not make sense). If he shoves the flop, I'm likely calling.
