Flop Middle Set vs 3-way Action on Flop and Turn

Live 1-2-5 PLO with $450 eff stacks. 

Villian 1 is an older guy who plays straight forward.  He calls with nut flush draws and bets when they come.  He bets with made hands.  He is up on the day.

Villian 2 is reg who does well in the game.  He has $3,000 and in for $500.  He plays pretty tight and has good cards when he is in hands.  I dont have a history with him but we play a lot together.  I see him get to showdown with good hands. 

I have a loose winning image I think to half the table.  The other half thinks I am nitty.  I can steal pots vs certain players based on my image.  Lines like Checking flop and betting turns in hands like AA4 flops I can take down a lot.


I have KsQs8d8s in the BB.  Open limp $5 and a raise to $20 with 4 callers.  I call.

Flop

Flop comes Kh8s2c


Villian 1 is SB and leads out for $65.  I decide to flat thinking I have the best hand here.  Villian 2 calls and others fold.  I think that Villian 1 can have AA, KK, 22 here only.  Not sure why he leads into the field without these kinds of hands on dry flops.  I dont know what villian 2 has here but I would think AK, AK8, K82 type hands.


Turn

The turn is 9s.  Villian 1 leads out for $80.  He now either has KK or 22 or AA still and I think he is smart enough to slow down w AA.  But sizing is so small on the turn that it could just be a blocker bet.  I flat thinking I am either crushing or behind the only hand KK.  I dont think the 9 changes anything with villian 1.  After I flat, Villian 2 raises to $350.  Now I am super interested in this hand and cant make sense of it at all.  It crosses my mind that he can have 99 here.  When the turn came, I noticed that he seemed highly interested and perked up a bit and watched V1 intently.  Villian 1 tanks for a while and then folds. He had to have 22 here.  Now the action is on me. 

I cant make any sense of this hand.  Villian 2 isnt good and IMO doesnt know how to value hands.  Its possible that I think he is so basic and not good that he cant make moves.  I have the obvious K blocker but I start to consider him having KK because I ran into a streak where when I had blockers, they always had the blocker set cards.  The 9 also doesnt help me figure out his range.  The 9 to me is as bad as an A coming I think.  I start to consider hands that he has where he can have 99.  Thats AA99, AK99, K992, K998.  So I construct his possible range.

AA
KK
99
TJQK
9TJQ
AK98
K892

Thats pretty much all.  He says "Ill show you" which isnt like him but I cant make a read on that.  I know he does like me though and would show the nuts.  I turn over a K and so does he.  He turns over a 9 and I turn over a Q.  He turns over an 8 and I turn over an 8.  This is as far as we get.

Now what?
