Decided to play some nl today and im glad i did, this was the third hand i played

I wasnt sure what the right course of action was on the flop but given his play later in the hand im sure i could have just gone all in and he would have called, but i felt that unless he had a set i had him almost dead.

The king on the turn was a great card i thought that with my min raise i could represent something like K10 or KJ and if he had AA, KK, AK or even KQ i knew he was more likely to raise than call. Well he decided to go all in for some unknown reason, i guess he just thought i was on a pure bluff. But since he was drawing dead it was the best possible thing to happen.

I guess I should be playing NL more often even though this is the best situation I could ask for, flopping the nuts against a big pair.
