Default Should I have folded here?

Playing PokerStars $25 NL 6max.

I'm on the button w/ AQo . SB, BB, and I all have about $30 stacks.
Folded to me and I raise to $1. SB and BB call.
Flop comes A J 8 rainbow. SB checks, BB bets 25% pot, I flat call (SB has c/r a lot of flops and I think he might be up to something), SB flat calls.

Turn brings a Q, and a flush draw, giving me top 2.

SB checks, BB makes another 25% pot bet, I raise about 80% pot, SB now pushes all in.

I was thinking that if the BB called, I would have to fold, as I was probably already up against at least a set and probably a straight. If he folded, I would probably call.

BB called. I folded. SB had AJ for flopped top 2. BB had AK. I folded what would have been the winner in a 360bb pot.

Should this be a fold or a call?

Thanks

I really need to see what the overall pot size is and the actual betting here. Can you post the actual hand history? You can use this for a converter:

I call here a lot. You are getting great odds with top 2 pair and you are most likely up against other two pair type hands. You are only really losing to 88, 9T, KT.

Thanks Trikkur. In retrospect, I think I was giving my opponents too much credit.

Try not to think in hindsight. Poker is about making the correct decisions regardless of the outcome. Don't ever let the outcome of a hand influence your decision making or thought process.
