Where did I go wrong? BountyHunter KO

Deep in a £400 BH this evening and I flopped two pair (albeit weak) but heads up I was confident and wanted to get all the money. Should I have gone All In post-flop or was I unlucky to come up against a stronger two pair?

    Although unlucky with how this played out I think you can reflect on what hands do you think you can beat once villain shoves turn?
     
    The 3 completes the straight for both A2 and 67 and he can also have any set. Does he ever suddenly go crazy with AA or AK here having flatted the reraise on the flop? Maybe you could have made your reraise a litle larger to define your hand strength as the min clickback can sometimes just look pure bluffy and entice opponent to peel another card with weak top pair holdings such as he had.

    As I say very unlucky that villain hits his card to beat you but I think you have enough behind to fold and live to fight another day.

    ****, we can just as easily say something like "would our opponent open jam a straight or a set here?", and hopefully we'd both agree that that's unlikely, so we're back @ Sq1. 

    I see recreationals doing this sort of thing with much worse than 2p often enough to justify calling vs a psb. So without reads, count me in. but it's one of those spots where you can really justify fold or call because it's always going to be based on what you've personally seen in these kind of spots in the past. I struggle to see anything other than call being the play though. 

    Edit: Oops, just realised it's actually a 2x pot shove and not a psb so just listen to the guy above

    I defer to both my learned friends above, & just add a little to the mix, in that bottom two is so different to top two, & is always vulnerable. We were 70-30 on the flop here, but a vulnerable 70-30, if that makes sense.
