10/25 HK dollar 10-handed game(10/25 sb/bb and $500-$3k buyin). Villian 1 raises $250 from UTG(definitely a very strong hand based on my read),i flat call with A K from UTG1, everyone folds to villian 2 who calls quickly in sb. villian 1 is a reasonable aggressive player. villian 2 is loose but luckboxes his way to huge winnings.
stacks as follows:
villian 1: 5k
villian 2: 9k
hero: 4.2k
flop($750): A 9 T villian 2 checks, villian 1 bets $500,hero calls, villian 2 in sb calls.
turn($2250): T villian 2 checks, villian 1 checks, hero ?
It would be appreciated if you can make comments on my preflop and flop play.

Preflop and flop look good. Well played so far.

Now bet. 1500 should do the trick. Fold to a c/r from Villain 2. I'd be shocked to ever see a c/r from Villain 1.

If anybody calls the turn I'd plan on checking back all non-Ace rivers and soul read/probably end up folding if they lead into me on the river on a blank and for sure if they lead into me on a club, K, or 8.

Preflop is fine - if V1's range is tight then there isn't any value in a raise.

On the flop your SPR is around 5 - I'd be happy to bet/bet/bet against V2 but I probably wouldn't be super happy if stacks went in against V1. Flat and control the pot size.

I think I bet half pot on the turn. You can get value from AQ, AJ and if V2 has a flush draw, 9x or is chasing a gutshot, there is value from him as well. I am folding to a raise.
