I am a little result oriented in this hand, but it is confusing me.

PokerStars - €0.05 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 5 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

Hero (UTG): 182.4 BB
CO: 48.8 BB 34/25/2
BTN: 235.8 BB
SB: 79 BB Not enough hands
BB: 104.8 BB

SB posts SB 0.4 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.4 BB) Hero has K♣ K♠

Hero raises to 3 BB, CO calls 3 BB, fold, SB calls 2.6 BB, fold

Flop: (10 BB, 3 players) 7♠ 8♥ J♦
SB bets 4.8 BB, Hero raises to 16.8 BB, CO calls 16.8 BB, SB raises to 28.8 BB, Hero calls 12 BB, CO raises to 45.8 BB and is all-in, SB raises to 62.8 BB, fold

Shouldn't I have raised him?
Should I have folded directly, on SB 3bet?

Turn: (130.4 BB, 2 players) A♠

River: (130.4 BB, 2 players) T♠

Spoiler

SB shows 9♥ 6♦ (Straight, Jack High)
(Pre 35%, Flop 37%, Turn 24%)
CO shows Q♣ T♥ (One Pair, Tens)
(Pre 65%, Flop 63%, Turn 76%)
SB wins 123.8 BB

I honestly thought to be behind when I folded: 9T str8, sets... Thing is the dynamic between those 2 players was very agressive and it made me feel unconfortable.

Come check my history and progress

Really tricky spot on the flop.
Raising flop is standard I think. I would make it around 14bb.

After the min 3bet you get decent odds to call. Not sure what to think about it without any info on the villain. Read less I would most likely shove against a short stack, but it's marginal for sure.

As played the line of the CO short stack is really weird and you get in a 3 way all-in. I would expect you are always beat, but tough to fold with the odds you get, but I would make it as well.

Cheers,

Hello,
Without any data I think I would be folding, but if you say they were playing too aggressive I would stake on the flop.
Another line having the FD and Straight backdoors could be just calling the flop to induce CO, waiting for him to push his short stack.
If he only calls on the turn for the SPR you are committed and only an A or J bothers you.
