The numbers look right.
As for what strategy to take based on the numbers, I'm not sure. As the calculations elsewhere in the thread show, the to-the-river equity of the KKxx hand is a lot better than the chance of flopping a set, and as GoG rightly points out, a good deal of that comes from backdoor draws.
Playing a short stack, you get to see the river more often than if you're playing a deep stack, so the backdoor equity helps you out. Playing a deep stack, unless you flop a set or a really good draw, you're going to have to muck on the flop. So with a deep stack you have to look for the set; but then you also have to hope the AAxx is prepared to bet the pot and call a full blooded raise when the flop comes K-high, which he might not be.
The more I think about it, the less I like KKxx when up against almost certain aces.
