Too big a bet on the turn? I kinda let go of the style after I was dealt kings and didn't want to get drawn out.

Winning poker players don't think like this.

In that first set of hands you wern't aggressive enough, I think you could have bet a bit harder when you had your 3s and your flush, in paticular. They looked willing to call bigger bets, so make bigger bets. They're going to see you cards and get a read on how you're playing anyway, so you might as well try and extract more value.
