I bet, bet, bet hoping I could get value from AK or AQ type hands

Or even bare aces

Does this line make sense -- should I have played it differently?
Pacific Poker - $0.05 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 5 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

BTN: 150.4 BB
SB: 10 BB
BB: 187.6 BB
UTG: 68.6 BB
Hero (CO): 108.8 BB

SB posts SB 0.4 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.4 BB) Hero has K♠:K♦:

UTG calls 1 BB, Hero raises to 4 BB, fold, SB calls 3.6 BB, fold, UTG calls 3 BB

Flop: (13 BB, 3 players) Q♦:K♥:A♠:
SB checks, UTG checks, Hero bets 6.4 BB, fold, UTG calls 6.4 BB

Turn: (25.8 BB, 2 players) 6♣:
UTG checks, Hero bets 8.4 BB, UTG calls 8.4 BB

River: (42.6 BB, 2 players) 7♥:
UTG checks, Hero bets 21.2 BB, UTG calls 21.2 BB

Spoiler

Hero shows K♠:K♦: (Three of a Kind, Kings)
(Pre 72%, Flop 98%, Turn 100%)
UTG mucks A♥:9♦: (One Pair, Aces)
(Pre 28%, Flop 2%, Turn 0%)
Hero wins 80.8 BB
Rake paid 4.2 BB

I would bet the turn at least half pot as well against the short stack with the intention to shove the river. Your line is fine with the bet, bet and bet strategy against most likely a fish. Only problem is that you miss a little bit of value with your small Cbet on the turn.

This is awesome spot versus limper villains who often have all sort of crappy Ax and are usually very sticky with them. So aim should be to stack him especially only 60bb deep. So bet turn for 2/3 pot to have similar size river shove. We might also get calls on turn from pair + gutshot combos.
