I'm still somewhat unexperienced with light 3betting but I think I'm getting there.

I think this is a great strategy in situations where the PROFITABILITY of your 3bet comes from your preflop fold equity.
If you are understanding where the profitability of your play is coming from, then it clearly makes little to no sense to continue firing and double barreling post flop you already made your money with your 3bet. Just because he happened to call you this time doesn't mean you need to compound the error by spewing more money when it was already your read preflop that your opponent is folding all but his strongest hands to 3bets.
Reiterated: If he's folding too much to 3bets, and he calls this one, his range is STRONG. Don't put more money into the pot, just c/f most boards.
C-betting K and A high flops is fine.
