10NL bottom two pair vs. flop shove

BB seems decent, I called preflop because of his stack. I instacalled, but on reflection his range is probably AA, KK, AK, 77, or 66. Is this bad against a decent villain?

The best way to play this is to just lead out, and if he's got TPTK or AA he'll raise, then shove. You have to play this fast.

As played, at these stakes, I don't see how your not going to broke here...

i would fold preflop, especially after the BB raised. you are out of position the rest of the hand in a multiway pot with very weak holdings. but since you did call, i think you have to play this pot aggressively and go broke since so many players would be willing to stack off with AK/AA in this spot.
