Two overplayed hands

[deagle185]

These are obviously overplayed second-best hands I had today. When do I put the brakes on and when do I drop (or call down)?

I only beat AJ and KK, and neither hand is likely. Should I call the turn raise and check/call river? Or fold to turn raise?

This kind of situation has long been a major chip bleeder in my game. How would you play this postflop? I was going to fold to a turn raise or river bet unimproved.
