Re: $30-60 KK hand, did I fumble?
Is this live or online?
The preflop flat call is good when it's heads up, but once a 3rd player calls, capping is better.
The flop check-call is bad. You want to either check-raise or lead 3-bet the flop. Here, I'd lean towards lead 3-betting and save the checkraise for more raggedy flops.
A good line when you open-raise AA or KK and get 3-bet (when the pot will be heads up) in overaggro online games is to:
smooth call preflop,
checkraise the flop, and call the 3-bet
lead 3-bet (or checkraise 4-bet in the case of an extremely aggro opponent) the turn.
The check-call check-raise line leaves too many bets on the table in these situations IMO. You are much better off representing, the old: I think I'm probably ahead...no free cards for AK. By the time you 3-bet the turn, they'll figure they're beat but will almost always call down because the pot is big, or just in case, or whatever.
