Pre-flop you have to raise with KK, around 300 when there is two limpers and one raiser. And no there are no way we can get away from this hand, I would say that your rarely behind, usually you will see a very weird range (which we saw with the T5). So as I said never fold KK in a spot like this, it would be very bad imo.

You really want to be re-raising this pre flop. Flatting with KK is ok in some situations ie v 1 villain or to induce a steal behind but not here with multiple villains, ie call call raise.
As played, its impossible to lay down and most of the time you will be ahead here..
For future ref though, KK is not a hand you want to be playing v multiple villains in a pot that has been raised only once
