Default Confused about AK hand

This hand confused me for a while. Villian 1 (49/17) and I had been at the table a while, but had rarely ended up playing against each other. Previously, he had slowplayed KK on a flush + straight draw board, and I had ended up paying him off a fair share on JJ, so donkish but tricky. The literal previous hand I had spiked a set on the river and had taken quite a bit of his stack. Villian 2 had shown up at the table 4 hands prior, so no real reads.

i'm going to vote pot sized bet as well...not really afraid of a set here...only thing to really worry about is a QT or something but there are tons of draws out, gotta charge em.

They both started out short. They both have less than a PSB left. You just don't have enough room to do anything other than bet enough to put them both all-in. You are ahead here alot, as a made straight or set should be betting to protect with the two spades on the board. So, just bet it.

Ok, thats what I thought. I ended up putting them AI and UTG flips JJ, MHING. I hate being results oriented, but I wasn't sure if there was any other way I could play this, given how short stacked they were, especially relative to the pot. I was pretty sure I was fine but I couldn't think of any other avialable line, so I thought I'd ask the board.
