2/3 NL, KK in BB at The Bicycle Club

I was in LA, and decided to give the Bike a try. The first thing I noticed is that every hand had $6 taken out of it on the flop for the "drop." I consequently played tighter and more aggressively then usual, in hopes of minimizing the damage from the ridiculous rake.
I had been 3-betting a lot pre-flop and generally taking it down with a c-bet.
The only hand that went to showdown was when I flopped top 2 with 6
7 from late position against an overpair of 9s. (I raised to $16 pf against 3 limpers). I bet big on the flop, and pushed the turn. My hand remained good on the river.
V1 was the only player at the table more aggressive then me, and he seemed looser. I never saw one of his hands at showdown.
V2 was loose, passive, but sticky- seemed to call if he got any piece of the flop.
On to the hand: V2 was SB, I was BB, V1 was late middle position.
PF I was dealt K:K
one or two limpers, V1 raised to $13, folded to V2 who called, I 3-bet to $43. As mentioned earlier, I was 3-betting about every other orbit. Folded back to V1 who called, and surprisingly V2 also called.
Flop:
A59 $129-(This is a basic approximation of the actual cards. there were for sure two spades and an A, and no real straight draws).
V2 checked, I bet $65, V1 calls, V2 calls. With two callers, I decided that I was done with the hand.
Turn: $324
T
Checks around
River:
Not a spade, but not memorable. I had already decided that I was done with the hand, and my back door flush draw didn't come.
Checks to V1 who bets $150, V2 folds, I fold.
Comments on all streets are appreciated. I feel comfortable with my PF play given my image and table dynamics. I am wondering if the flop c-bet was spew. I think with two callers, giving up on the turn was reasonable, however on the river after V2 folded, only against V1, I was getting better than 1:3, so maybe I should have called given his aggression.

also in regards to rake... move up to the 300-500 game at bike-- way better game, worse/equivalent players with deeper stacks
i prob check the flop a lot... we can't get worse to fold IMO and they prob have a decent amount of ax in their 3b calling ranges preflop given that its 2/3 and people like playing ax type hands... as played river is super easy fold and turn is super easy check back... at least you bet smallish on the flop...
i think flop is a check tho
