This is a perfect scenario: our objective is exactly this, to play in position versus bad players.

[SIZE=14px]I am on BTN with AcKc. UTG limps. I raise to 41c. SB calls UTG calls.

Pretty standard preflop. [/SIZE]

A very good flop that gives us a lot of equity versus any kind of hands, even versus sets.

If it was a respectable villain we could be worried but there are draws and dominated kings that could’ve done the same, coming from a bad player.
We have two options here, call or raise, we are never folding this, we need to be right just 1 out of 3 times and we have plenty of implied odds.
I think both calling and raising have their merits. It’s not good to be slow playing at the micros, although we have implied odds for the nut flush, your raise was good because eliminated SB out of the pot.
When UTG calls our raise there’s nothing to worry about: if UTG is holding 77 or 88, good for him/her, we are going anyway! We also don’t expect villain to be holding many KK (top  set for this flop), for it had limped into the pot.

We couldn’t expect anything better than this: even if we are dominated for just a few combos of sets, we are still drawing to the nut flush on the river.
The hand was well played. Now I haven’t see the results but I’m afraid UTG was either overplaying or overbluffing: if UTG wasn’t doing any of these things, good for him/her, we are never folding here and life goes on! To the next hand and let the chips fall as they may.

Best regards;
