V is a nlhe reg, haven't played PLO w/him. In nlhe, he plays fairly solid, doesn't get out of line with his opens or 3bets, but knows when to take a stand against aggro regs pre and post. He regards Hero as aggro pre having played a 5b pot (which he won) with AJo. Don't have much postflop hist with him.
Prior to this hand I had opened several hands from LP and got folds.

I believe the T was the heart. I know for certain the A was not the heart.

V leads 880, Hero folds.
Flop: I think betting is std, we have a strong hand and need protection. I expect V to play his strong hands straightforwardly and thus rarely x the nuts here, either to xc or to xr.
Turn: This is the spot I'm really stuck on. I'm aware that V's range has a lot of AA in it. That said, his range definitely also has a chunk of hands that KK is vbetting against, and his range does pick up equity on this turn card.
My plan was to BBX KK, thoughts?
River: At the time, I thought it was a fold, as I didn't think he would xc twice with too many hands that didn't have the fd. (Which might, btw, make my turn decision to continue KK for value questionable).
Looking at it now, the river sizing is small and it's definitely a great spot for him to bluff with the Ah given that a hand like AhKT9 has minimal sdv at this point.
Looking at blockers, I think holding KK is bad for bluffcatching, bc the hands he would bluff here are like AhKXX and when we hold KK and have no high hearts we remove his two pair turned into bluffs.
