1/2 AK flops TPTK, ever not doubling villian up here?

Hero, UTG+1. Playing good cards, but getting hit in the face by the deck; first 90 minutes and I've showndown AA, 10's twice, AK, didn't showdown another AA or a QQ, so I've been raising a lot.
V1: Old man, calls too much for not the right prices, but has been getting there enough to yo-yo his stack without rebuying. Has ~115 at the beginning of this hand; is in MP.
V2: Active, raises limped pots alot, has 200; I cover both.
I get AK0, raise to 15. V1 calls, V2 calls in the SB.
Flop: K62, 2 hearts. I bet 35. I've been cbetting every pre-flop raise, no reason to stop now. I do NOT have a heart. V1 calls, V2 folds.
urn: offsuit 9. I bet 50. Bad sizing here, I think. V1 calls
River: Offsuit 4. I ut villian all-in for his last 25, he calls. (Should have checked?)
Villain shows 22. I'm stuck between thinking I donked off 115 bucks and thinking that big hearts and big pairs were so much of his range here that all the money was going in anyway, but, feedback requested on all streets.

Also, I know it is high, but 15 was my standard PFR, the table was doing anything from 12 to 30 as an open.

Looks like an amazingly played hand to me. We set up a great stack-to-pot ratio (2 against V1, 4 against V2) for the most likely made hand we would flop, TPTK, and then we flopped TPTK and got all in with V1 as we planned (or at least should have planned). I just shove turn though. He will call his FD at a wrong price, while he will get away with his $25 on the river if he misses with our turn bet size.
But, please avoid posting results and thread titles that insinuate bad results. They affect some posters' responses

I would bet bigger on turn, and once your on the river failing to get villains last 25 into such a big pot would be a terrible play.

Beyond standard, put him in on turn...
Preflop fine. Flop ok, but I usually bet a bit less... maybe 30. It's a fairly dry board, and so my cbets are smaller when for value (because there aren't as many hands I'm getting value form) and for bluffs (because I don't need to bet big to take down a dry flop).
Turn, just shove. You have a 110 dollar pot with villain having like 65 bucks behind. Get his money in while he still has hope for his heart draws.
With his stack size this small, and with a 40 dollar pot preflop, you're stacking off 100% of the time here. Don't worry about it.

i'm paying that set of 2s every single time. honestly, if you start giving guys credit for a flopping the low set, you can be pushed off of any hand ever. w/ AK you want that board, and you have to be willing to put all of your chips in w/ it if you're willing to put all of your chips in pre-flop w/ AK (which i always am).

I don't like the big raise w/ AK from EP pre. Doesn't seem that profitable at 1/2 without fold equity post-flop.
