Default Taking my lumps with Kings?

Villain1 is definitely LAG, prone to cold calling preflop, and capable of bluffing turn or river. Don't know much about Villain2 except he's likely TAG.

Sportsbook.com 2/4 8 full game

Hero is in middle with K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

one fold to Villain1 who limps early
one fold to another limper, middle
another limper calls followed by another fold
Hero raises
3 folds
Villain2 cold calls on button
Villain1 calls as does the other limper

Flop (4-way, 8 sb):

2 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 6 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 5 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

Villain2 checks, Villain1 bets, extra limper calls, Hero raises, Villain2 calls, Villain1 raises, extra limper folds, Hero calls, Villain2 calls

Not terribly happy about this flop. Raised to keep pressure on/gain info; chasers have odds no matter what I do--difficult to protect here, but folding not an option. Villian1's re-raise does not concern me, but Villain2's calls make me suspicious of chasing.

Turn (9.5 BB):

Villian2 checks, Villian1 bets, Hero calls, Villain2 (check)raises, Villain1 calls, Hero calls

Crap. Don't like check-raise at all but pot size compels me to call, hoping for board to pair, preferably a diamond. Villan2's preflop button cold call indicates big cards, probably suited, but my read is based on small sample so I can't be sure. The only good news hers is Villain1 slowed down.

River (15.5 BB):

3 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

Villain2 bets, Villain1 folds, Hero calls

Crap. Crap! Pretty sure I'm beat but not enough to fold on the end for one bet.

General comments/analysis welcome. Also, is this just a lump to take or did I blow it?

Much obliged
