It is very important to recognize when you are playing a drawing hand in a sucker position, especially preflop. For instance if you are playing a pocket pair that you limp into the pot, which is then raised behind you and reraised before the action gets back to you, then you are going to be the cream filling in a re-raise Oreo cookie. You don't want to be in this situation. Even if both raises are minimum raises and your game says to call with the odds in front of you, you must realize that having another player acting behind you - who has already shown that he wants to raise - puts you in a lose/lose situation. Get out of the hand. Remember, you'll play a million hands a year or a career, this one hand is not THAT important.
There are pocket pairs, like AA and KK that YOU would have reraised here. This scenario dictates that you have a pocket pair that you should call only a reasonable raise with. With a raise, and re-raise ahead of you though, if your pocket pair is not good enough for you to push all-in, it's not good enough to call.
The fact that you don't want to lay this hand down is simple lack of discipline. You are Paying Too Much to play the cards - which you have to assume are a 2 outer. That is to say, if you don't make a set then you are going to fold the hand. Why call here? The only reason is because you assume this is the only chance you're going to have to play a hand for the rest of eternity, so you're going to play this one regardless. Is that true? NO! Another couple cards will be dealt to you in less than a minute. Fold here and move on with the thousands of hands you have coming.
