It's a good fold, but why are you leading this flop to begin with? Going 4 ways to the flop, at least one of your opponents is likely to have a have an A.

why a check with a flush draw and A board would only hinder my reading on the turn, so I bet to extract the correct information, and the decision became much easier

I think betting to get information is often -EV.

If you check, and the villains check, that is probably the information which helps more in this spot?

Thank U 4 posting

It is harder to do but more correct to check fold the KK on that flop. Chip preservation and player reads are a necessary element of successful tournament poker. So we check that flop and react to the action behind us not out of fear of the A but knowing 2 V betting have A+ type hands

As played easy fold.

It does become slightly easier but it did cost you 250 chips. Kk doesn't need much protection, you're playing 4 way. Probably not even a shame in just plainly x/f flop here.

if I check, the villain would probably bet, and what would you do? would you call? ouir of check fold? I think it's normal to get a post-KK flop when it was aggressive pre-flop.

HU aggression makes more sense, but we are multiway and out of position. By betting we are just giving our opponents free value. We are likely only getting called by worse or hands that have really good equity against us. If we check the action likely goes bet-call-fold, and we can easily fold knowing our hand is very much behind and save ourselves the 219.
