I'm a newbie. Yep. Did I play this right? I feel like I was badly beaten, but at the same time, I knew it was a risky play. I was ahead in cards though when I put my money in.

Game is .05/.10 on Bodog. 9 Hand Table.
I'm dealt K K.
UTG goes all in for $3.30
Villain (UTG+1) calls (with $11.00 remaining)
Hero calls (with $10.00 remaining)
rest fold
(something along those lines, the folders had different positions and the chipcounts aren't exact but both are generally insignificant to this hand)

Flop comes 3 9 T.
Villain checks to me.
I push all in with about $10.00 (I'm obviously ahead here, there's no way this guy has rockets).
Villain calls me and turns up A 8.
The first all-in had K J. Yeah I know, what the heck, all-in with K-J? Welcome to Bodog.

At this point I'm psyched and am praying for no Ace.

Turn comes 6. OK, no ace, no heart. I've still got odds to take this thing.

River comes 7. O RLY!?

The whole table is in general disbelief. Was this a bad beat or should I not have pushed on the flop? Should I have pushed on preflop? I mean, even if I had pushed on preflop, I'm fairly certain this guy wouldn't have folded.

This sucks because I was ahead $10 for the night and this threw me back into no winnings after about 2 hours of play. Boo. Maybe I should expand my hands to the 169 in Renton's post? I'm playing the 19-hand beginner right now in these games and I've only been making marginal cash.

I should stick to SnGs. I make about 40 - 60% ITM in any given week with those, I just want to learn to play NLHE Ring so that I don't have to dedicate myself for an hour to a hour and a half of play.

it is just a bad beat, but you should have re-raised to $10 preflop

The whole table is in disbelief? Runner runner flushes aren't exactly uncommon dude! It's a bad beat, pure and simple, but yes, re-raise pre-flop.
