Default Losing value or is it ok to keep it small?

Ok, this is a previous hand which probably tilted the opponent. He was ultra-agressive and I thought I have the best hand so i called.

Villain had KTo.

what should I do here. i was 80% i have the best hand, but we're 200bb+ deep and i do not want to give it back with KQo and his line seems different, strong. am I playing with scared money or is my line rational, trying to keep the pot small as possible.
