Squeeze bigger preflop or just flat call. 15c around. Standard flop play and unlucky

I would 3bet a little bit more as well. Especially out of position. I make it 12bb in total.
I wouldn't call pre-flop. Especially multi way KK is tough to play with. Decent change you have the 2nd best hand post-flop if you would do that.

Flop play is standard I think. Villain would most likely play flush draws the same way.

Thank you all :f_biggrin: Maybe I am being result oriented, but the more I look at the hand and the more I think I should fold flop, unless I have a read that villain is aggressive. I think at NL2 people don't push flash draw, but instead tend to play them passively. I am expecting a set every time here... Again, maybe I am being result oriented

Call on the flop is questionable against unknown V, maybe a mistake. You have enough SPR to get away from the hand and find better spot. This move usually indicates a lot of strenght. You need an aggressive V to justify call here.

I think the preflop 5x raise is fine 3-betting more may be too obvious that you have a monster as there are no other hands you would want to raise more then 5x with. As for the post flop play, I played a long time NL2 and I would never fold KK on any flop vs an unknown. Yes you run into sets some of the time, but more often then that I see them shove with all kinds of crazy stuff. When you know Villain is a very tight player or you play this at NL5 and certainly higher stakes it's a different story.
