This is why being 60BBs deep really sucks. I still say go with your read and shove the flop. The way you played it was just so easy for your opponent to put you on the hand you had.
If you had 100 BBs you could call the flop and shove the turn (or call down if you hit a pair). If you had a hand like AQ, then you could call down and expect your A-high to be good, but K-high is a lot more tricky as he could easily be 'bluffing' with a better hand (KJ, KQ, Ax).
If you had 20 BBs, you would've been AIPF or on the flop.
This hand is really read and opponent dependent. I could see lines such as 3betting the flop and calling a shove with hands like AK here, or just folding to his mincr.
Seriously. It depends.
Anyway, back to this very hand. After he raises your bet on the flop, I would just go ahead and shove if you didn't think he had anything. He may still make a heroic call with 55 or whatever but you've denied him the opportunity to rebluff you on the flop.
