how would u guys play this? i called pf cuz of huge odds, called the flop planning to reraise the turn (fira said i was beat and he had KK or QQ but i said he would need the case cards and thus unlikely) but chickened out on turn and river cuz of flush card

because of his extremely weak bet on the flop, it seemed like either JJ or KK/QQ. if he had JJ, he would have folded to reraise on turn, whereas if he had KK or QQ, he would have called. didn't really see him having AA

I would reraise. There is very little point to not reraising the flop.
Either he has you killed or you have him killed and the most likely hands he has are AK or AA. I cant see why this situation would possibly scare you. This is almost best case scenario and if you had reraised the flop you probally have a good shot at taking his stack. I mean if your not going to raise when you hit 2 pair why did you bother calling preflop? In the sole hopes of hitting a straight?
And why would the flush card possibly scare you? What exactly is he reraising with that hit that flush? AJ of clubs? I mean come on the chances of him hitting the flush there are virtually non existant. Inless this is a tricky player who reraises with a lot of hands the flush shouldnt even cross your mind.
If he does end up having like KK and you lose a buy in here thats not a big deal thats just poker. You can not be afraid to lose! Situations like 2 pair vs aces dont come up often and you have to take advantage of them when they do.
Really your preflop play this hand should have pretty much decided how you would play this. If you decide to call his preflop reraise with kq then you cannot fold when you hit your 2 pair, pretty much no matter what the action is. You called trying to suck out and when you do you have to capitalize.
