Given that the monotonic function $f(x)$ is an odd function with a domain of $\mathbb{R}$, and when $x > 0$, $$f(x) = -3x + (\frac{1}{2})^x - 1$$.
(1) Find the value of $f(-1)$;
(2) If for any $t \in \mathbb{R}$, the inequality $f(t^2 - 2t) + f(2t^2 - k) < 0$ always holds, find the range of values for the real number $k$.
