Am not playing your stakes. Am playing micro stakes where guy can go allin with TP Crap Kicker, or mid pair TK...

This is a pretty easy fold. This guy raised preflop and has now re-raised a raiser on the flop which is pretty ragged. At best, you are tied with him...at worst crushed with 2-5 outs.
Don;t lose too much $$ with top/top in NL when someone is showing a lot of strength. You can waitr for much better opportunities to get your $$ in than this.

I have to admit I'd probably have called. Maybe that's where I'm going wrong

Raise this preflop instead of limping.

Thanks for all the reply.
First, I didn't raise because
A. I started to mix my play, and lets face it AQ is not all that of a hand  and I have no problem folding it if I miss the flop..
B. The hand before I had AK raised from MP , EP and LP called. flop all rags and EP leads with 2X Pot...
You are all right though. This is an easy easy fold. Sure, in these low micro levels players might go allin with TPCK (=crap kicker) or even Mid pair, However villain didn't go allin. He made a raise and then RE-RAISE my raise. He didn't push. This is a clear sign of strength.
When he raised, I put him on a set. But instead of folding I thought I should chase my only 2 outs ...
The real reason behind this horrible move of mine is even more disheartening - I was talking at Skype at the time with my sister. I actually thought dude didn't raise preflop.
He bet again on the turn and it was all or nothing for me, so of course I pushed allin to see his lovely pair of K's...
I should know better. In fact I DO KNOW better , it just putting it in practice that sucks.
Well, a couple of hours later, I sit again for another session and then this happen :

I was multi tabling at the time (well, 2 tables) and didn't have any reads on Villain. I took long hard time to think if I want to lose all my hard earn chips (I still only buy the min, so as you can see I doubled up my buyin by this hand) on top 2 pairs...
I decided against it and let the time run out!!
I spent the next of the session looking at the guy and check the hand history. In the 17 hands prior to this one he won every hand he went to showdown with (about 3). After that he played very few hands and usually won them. he was a ROCK and I think I made a good fold!
