I frequently think of the betting as a dialogue.
You bet out into a field of 5. Your bet was 2/3
of the pot. I think you were waving top pair.
Someone heard you and said I've got better. What
could be better be?? Perhaps a set of 7's or 6's or
even two pair (he played a suited connector 76,
but he is in early position so that is not the right
position to play that kind of hand but weak players
do it all the time) or perhaps he just has a better
King....afterall if he's looking at KQ he knows only
AK is better among the 1 pair hands and nobody raised
pre-flop. The place you get to....is you're in trouble
and it's an easy fold.

Possible hands he has that beats you
KQ, KJ, 77, 66, 76 soooted,
not so likely 66 or 77 (would wait till the turn to re-raise)

hands you have beat
Kx why would he be in the hand (unless hes just loose and is playing K9),
but the most likely hand you would have beat are flush or spade draws

You know a similar hand happend to me today
I limped in the middle w/ KJ (sooted) blinds 15/30
4 people seen the flop I had posistion

flop Ks Xs X
the SB lead into the pot the BB folded, and the other seat folded, action on me.
From where I sat I thought the only possible hand he could have to beat me would have been (KQ)
1. The pot was unraised so its unlikey he has AK
2. If he made 2 pair or a set he wouldnt have lead into the pot he would have C/R or made a move on the turn

I push on him he calls and shows As 6s for the nut flush draw

But you hand I would fold / you have plenty of chips and can get them in in a better spot

I'd check the flop

Edit: Given how you played it, easy fold.
