2/5 Live Deepstacked Trips

[jsnipes28]

Some background info on this game: I am home from school and heard that there was a 2/5 game running in town, not a legit casino or anything. So i went last week and the players were just throwing money away. I won 700 in about 4 hours. Last night i went and played again and was winning a lot. The players there are calling stations and have no concept of odds, aren't thinking et cetera. They are, however, gamblers. Villain in this hand had called a 400 dollar preflop all in with 45s and made a straight and had also called a 50 preflop raise with 46o and cracked someone's AA. Villain regularly plays 7card-stud (according to him and his friends) and shoots dice for thousands of dollars. They are black guys, not that that has anything to do with it, who are pool hustlers, basketball hustlers, or just gamblers and had been talking about how they were either + or - like 2K for the day. I had been up to like 1700 at one point but i intentionally gave bakc like 150-200 because table percieved me as being very tight and "kneeling on my stack". This post is kind of long but i want to include a hand that i played with each villain so you can get an idea of what play was like.
Hand 1 is 9Handed
Hero is UTG with the KILL button (basically a free live straddle) and is dealt K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
5 callers for 20 each. I make it 125 to go. Villain2 calls and Villain1 calls.
Flop:5 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]6 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
Hero open-pushes 585. Villain2 thinks for a while and calls w/ 7 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. Villain 1 folds and then shows 77 so Villain is on a gutshot. Turn and River brick and Hero takes down monstrous pot.

Hand2 is 5 Handed
Hero is CO w/ 6 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]8 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] and calls 5.
4 see a flop of K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 4 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
Villain1 bets 25, Hero raises to 75, Villain1 calls 50.
Turn: 9 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
Villain1 checks, Hero bets 125, Villain1 calls.
River: 2 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
Villain1 checks, Hero checks.
Villain1 shows J [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] and takes down the pot.

Now to the hand in question. 5 Handed
Hero~1400
Villain1~950
Villain2~1000 (he rebought for a 1000 and is stuck about a grand for the night)
Hero is CO w/9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] and raises to 15
Villain 2 is button and calls
Villain 1 calls from BB
Flop: A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
Villain 1 bets 50, Hero calls 50, Villain2 calls 50.
Turn:K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
Villain1 bets 200, Hero calls 200, Villain2 folds.
River: 3 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
Villain1 bets all in 500, Hero??

I don't like how I played this hand but i am not sure how to play it differently because raising the flop for info might not help as illustrated when he called down with mid pair. How should i have played this hand differently? Sorry for this being so long.
