best way to play KK on board?
what is the best way to play KK on the board? gto wizard said to check jam all-in on flop but idk. I just cut and pasted the hand and made no adjustment to the ranges or anything so I'm not sure if the accuracy is good

Your line seems fine to me. I'd always cbet here, with my entire range.
Solver wants to check to protect our checking range and induce given his stack size. That said, off that stack size, he shouldn't be flatting too wide anyway I don't think.
I assume you mean button's stack size since there are two villains in the hand, but also button is 50/4 through 29 hands, so what they "should" do is not really a factor.
Line is probably fine. I'd guess a check is part to protect checking range, and part to check-raise and get more money in now to charge gutshots, since we have such a strong hand we probably have to stack off even if a Q/J comes in.
If GTO Wizard suggests check-jamming KK on the flop, it’s likely because the board has many draws and a short stack is involved. But don’t copy-paste ranges blindly—adjust them based on opponent type and stack size.
✅ On dry boards, a value bet or check-call is usually better.
✅ On wet boards with many draws, check-jam can be correct.
Always consider ranges, board texture, and stack depth.
Flop jam isn’t crazy multiway since so many bad turns can kill your action. But honestly I think with 30bb stack, bet/bet/jam like you did is totally fine.
