Hello, please, what are your opinions on this hand?

Im the BB. I get dealt K♥K♣
I post big blind 0,02
Action folds to UTG +2
UTG +2 raises to 0,04.
LJ calls.
Small Blind calls.
I re-raise to 0,08.
They all call.

So now we have 4 people in the hand:
Hero on BB
Villain on UTG+2
Villain on LJ
Villain on SB.
The pot is now 0,32.

Flop comes
5♣Q♣5♠

SB checks.
Hero bets 0,08.
UTG +2 folds.
LJ calls.
SB calls.

We are now 3 in the hand and the pot is 0,56

Turn comes
J♣

SB checks.
Hero bets 0,12
LJ folds.
SB calls.

We are now heads-up and the pot is 0,80.

River comes
8♣

SB bets 0,38
Hero calls 0,37 and is all in.

The pot is now 1,47.
Villain shows Q♠A♣ and has the nut-flush.
Hero shows the second nut-flush and busts.

Summary:
Villain SB Q♠A♣
Hero BB K♥K♣

Board: 5♣Q♣5♠J♣8♣


Please, can you give me some advice, what I should have done?
I was ahead the whole time and then got screwed by the river which gave me the second nut flush which was not enough.

I think I should have raised way more on turn and even maybe on the flop.
What do you think guys?
This is my first hand analysis and I hope it was easy to read

pre flop raise is not nearly enough. I'd raise 3 times the original raiser+the other callers. so around 0.20

again the flop bet is too small.

Even if he'd likely to continue with pairing queens & backdoor flush you could shove on the turn

and you aren't playing the maximum buy in I guess. That's also a disadvantage.

Now I really like playing against the players come with smaller buy ins. It's so easy to bluff them over small pots & get in big for big hands. Thanks Keith for this advice

So it is as I thought, I should have raised more.
Thanks.

Any more comments on my play? Will raising more in this situation fix the problem?

@Alucard You are right, I was not full on the buy in since I only grinded a few cents on sit and gos on demand freerolls on ACR and it was my first cash game there.

I honestly don't think there was anyway around this hand for you. If I am sitting with AQ suited, I definitely call your raise. Once the flop is down, no way am I folding with top pair A kicker, and flush draw. Once the turn was down maybe check, to minimize the losses unless you are going to fold. pretty hard fold with kings and king flush.

3bet bigger pre to .20 - .24, cbet flop 2/3 pot, shove turn and once SB calls pre you're never getting him to fold and this is a hand where you are destined to lose a stack , but compensated for by all the stacks you take in similar situations where he doesn't river the nut flush.

Hello,

That KK is a sweet hand, but you have to play it against fewer opponents. Your preflop raise was to small, but what is the right size? Well it depends....

Firstly, you are in early position, which makes you a little vulnerable. I would add at least a blind and a half onto my bet because of that. I also would want to increase my bet, to try and limit the callers to no more than 2. So the size will depend on what makes some of the field fold. Only experimentation will tell you and every game will be different.

Unfortunately here, you just got unlucky, because QA on a Q high flop is really pretty sweet for KK. Normally you land up stacking your opponent.
