KQs just doesn't fit well in that range, knowing we'll end up facing AA/KK/QQ/AK/AQ a lot, and we'll be dominated more often than not. We'll always fold KQ to a 5B jam, and it'll be rare that an opponent will call with TT/JJ, we'll spike top pair, and they'll want to gets stacks in.
A big problem is that you wrote a lot about v2's postflop tendencies, but virtually nothing about his preflop ranges. The question here is. Does V2's 3bet range is the same as the pop's? What % of hands does he 3bet? Is it closer to 4%? Or is it closer to 10%. If it's the former, your hand is clearly a fold notwithstanding that on occasion he shows up with trash. If it's the latter, then you can start thinking about doing stuff, although they aren't textbook.
In addition, you can't say that you don't want to get 5bet with this hand. It's ok to have a folding range in every part of your game tree and since we are talking about your 4betting range, KQs in low frequencies would be at the bottom of it and
count as a bluff, so it's ok to fold it if it faces a 5bet.
But again, if you think V2's range is mostly value, then it's a clear fold.
Last but not least, since this is a 3way pot and you say that you are betting mostly value (while your bluffs like JT have a ton of equity), the correct bet size is 25-33% on the flop.
Once villain gets it in, it sucks, but given your description, it's a call.
