I would of raised it much harder pre flop and if he called with that type of hand, there is nothing you can do. More often than not, that wont happen and you will take it down.

You got all your chips in while way ahead. You want people to call in these situations. So don't worry about it.

I don't know if this qualifies as "better play" but I'll chime in with an approach I'll sometimes take on a loose game (like the one you were in) when I have AA or KK from UTG.

If I am better than 50% sure that my hand will get raised from UTG I will limp with AA and KK. If I get limpers all around, I will bet the flop really hard (like 10-15x). If I get a raise, I will reraise really hard (like 10-15x).

Both of these moves are a clear signal that you have group 0 and most plrs will respect that unless they are short stacked and get comitted.

I will especially play it this way if the button is a habitual blinds stealer and will often work that play when there is another limper in the hand.

The pot is already 600 after the flop bet to you, and the board is showing two spades. Push immediately.
It's not what's inside that counts. Have you seen what's inside?
Internal organs. And they're getting uglier by the minute.
