Things were going a little rough for me during my session (made one big mistake where I should have folded, and ran into some two pair hands by the river that I would normally have won if I barreled and they didn't river that 2nd pair, but that's okay, it happens), then things started to turn around. A few hands before this one, turned a flush and got a full double-up on somebody who check-called the turn and river with just top pair (Gotta love that).
That's the backdrop for this upcoming hand. I get Kings in middle position. UTG min-raised, I decide to 3-bet 3.2x because I want to apply pressure and build a pot. The Small Blind calls, and the original raiser calls.

Here's the thing where I run into a bit of an issue because this has happened where I have, on board textures like this, run into sets (I discount T8 here because I don't think T8 calls enough of the time to really be worried about that hand) because SB just called pre. They could very easily be going with hands like TT, JJ, QQ as well, thinking I was 3-betting pre with AK, which I will also do. The original raiser folded, so I decide to raise here, with the intention of getting my stack in. The only hands I am in trouble against are Aces and sets.
Here's the thing (I will post the result of the hand another time), should I be trying to find a fold here? Or am I playing this fine? I wonder if this is a leak of mine where I will sometimes overplay overpairs on boards like this, or is it perfectly fine to do this because in the long run, I should be coming out ahead. Villain is definitely playing his hand VERY fast.
I'm just curious as to your feedback on this. Maybe I'm not thinking this through right, or my logic is faulty.
Maybe I'm just a stupid fish.
