1/2 stud8- typical KK mess

[RubbishCards]

Villain is a live one. I just saw him "defend" his BI with (K3)5 against a UTG complete from obvious KK, then peel 4th after catching a T (is it even peeling when you have no draw?)

He can easily have split 9s or 2 low cards in the hole here. Maybe I save a bet by bet/folding 6th but then I am throwing away half the pot when he has a low. Presumably there is an actual good way of playing this hand from 6th, but I don't know what it is. Can somebody please enlighten me?
