I honestly think that this is poor reasoning and you've just set yourself up for future problems. Your 3x+ BB raise first in already indicates that you have something premium since you still have a number of players to act behind you so betting here isn't necessarily indicating that you have an over pair, you've already done that.
If you believe betting here is wrong because you might face a raise, when do you bet kings on the flop? What is your concern on this flop? I can see a few concerns about this flop, namely aces, trips, a flush draw(but you hold the K- some help on the backdoor), and maybe pocket 6s. I tend to believe you need to protect your hand here and bet.
I'm curious how you bet trips on the flop or what your preflop raise range is. Say your range is AA-99 and you will lead out on trips occasionally, what will your opponents think then on a flop like this?
