You were trying to steal the blinds (7 bucks), and get KT (worse hands) to fold? With a super tight image don't you think the people calling you are weighted towards stronger hands?
If KT folds, doesn't K8 fold? What hands are you ahead of after your flop bet is called?
There's lots of threads lately where Hero seems to want to raise to ensure that they're playing against a very tight range of hands; hands that they're (at best) flipping with, or behind. If A9 and KT folds, you're not going to be ahead on very many flops.
Stove your equity against 3 opponents who've folded A9, KT, etc. and see how you're doing.
