Maybe this is really stupid hand, but I was not sure if and where i should go all in. We both are very deep, I don`t have info for the opponent and he decided to 5 bet me.I don`t know if anything different from QQ+ will 5 bet here. In addition, I have two kings ,so he should not have a king. So I really didn`t know if I went all in pre flop anything different from AA will call. So I decided to call...
ON the flop I really didn`t know what to do, as everything looked bad for me?
Was the 5 bet call ok, I what I had to do?

Without any reads I would most likely 6bet shove, but it depends a lot what kind of villain you are dealing with. The flop bet seems standard to me.

Cheers,

Stacking for 270 BB effective preflop with KK cannot be a plus EV move unless you are dealing with a fish.

I would most probably play the exact same way but bet not more than 1/3 pot on the flop

Agree with this. Our hand is also not vulnerable here and we probably don't want to be betting for 3 streets so starting with a check could be fine.

Also, a pro tip: if you find yourself in tough sopts and don't know what to do when you are almost 300bb deep, don't play 300bb deep.
Playing deep can be very profitable if you do it well but you really must know how to adjust with bigger stacks. Otherwise you could just end up hurting yourself.
