$11/$1500 Guarantee Top pair & NFD

HJ: 3023
CO: 2895
BN: 3105
SB: 4021
BB: 3000
UTG: 3528
UTG1: 3060
UTG2: 2588 (Hero)
LJ: 2880
Preflop (45) (9 Players)
Hero was dealt K A
UTG raises to 60, UTG1 folds, Hero calls 60, LJ folds, HJ folds, CO folds, BN folds, SB calls 45, BB calls 30
Sometimes I just flat with AK but in early position should I almost always 3 bet? Don't want a lot of players to just call and end up playing multiway. Ideally someone will 3 bet and I can get HU. This way its so cheap that both blinds get to see the flop
Flop (240) K 5 9 (4 Players)
SB checks, BB bets 120, UTG folds, Hero calls 120, SB folds
I flop the world with top pair and NFD. Now I don't mind if others are in the pot and when BB bets i just call I don't want to force him out
Turn (480) 6 (2 Players)
BB bets 360, Hero raises to 1170, BB folds
Turn is brickish unless he has a straight draw which I doubt he would have bet on the flop with all of those spades. If he does have a spade draw and another brick hits the river I won't get any more out of him. I don't want to give him a free card to hit a straight or 2 pair so I put in a hefty raise. Did I lose value by raising too much? By betting so big I think I force him to have a very strong range to call me. If he did have a flush draw i sort of tipped my hand
Final Pot
Hero wins 1200
