Before i get flamed for being stupid/playing scared, I know i suck at NL. I've played limit most of my life, and I've only recently started playing NL. This kind of situation has just been killing me since i started playing NL, so i was hoping for some help.
I read professional NL holdem, but my problem is there's no way to get the SPR i need in this situation, so i was hoping some ppl could help me figure out my default plays, and how they decide whether to raise or fold here.
Villain is 22/5.6/Postflop AF 4.5. Other than that i had no notes.

If this were limit, it's easy. 3 bet, if he 4 bets, i can always call down if i'm beat. Unfortunately, it's NL, and if i call this, the rest of my stack is going in by the river. If i raise to something like $20, and then fold, i lose 40% of my stack.
He's very aggressive, so he could be on a stone bluff, he could have called with JTs or something and think i just missed, he could have a flush draw and be semi-bluffing, or he could have a set.
My problem is assuming I reraise and get all in, anyone set mining is playing profitably against me. They will stack me if they hit, and they fold if they miss. But if i'm folding in this situation, QQ turns into basically 2/7 in that I'm just looking to take down the pot with no showdown. Aggressive players could just bluff me out every time. If it was 50 BB's i could get in much easier, but at 100 there's really no way I can make it easy.
Given this info, do you think i should reraise/call all in? Reraise/fold? Fold to this raise?
Also, I was hoping some people could give me a little more info on your thought process in these situations. How do you decide what to do in these situations? That kind of info would help me a lot.
