You remind me of those middle aged white guys at the casino that are trying to learn the game and improve but have got many flaws in their game.
Preflop sizing depends on your table but $10 is generally too small.
Your raise on the flop is ok/good, but once he raises you are dead in the water. Please just curse the poker gods and muck your hand.

+1 to everyone who said you should fold. You should fold. Shoving was the worst move you could make, followed by calling, followed by even hesitating to fold. Unless you stacked the deck to make a queen and probably an ace come out on that board, you are basically dead in the water.

For real, but at least he had 75BB. My "favorites" are the ones who show up to $1/$2 with $60, praying to the gawds that they can survive like three all-in pots just to get a real stack. (Then, when they get the full stack, they invariably donk it off with TPTK or an overpair to the first person who will give them any action. Just beautiful, really.)

That makes the pot $60 when it gets to you, so $30 isn't a big bet but it should clarify your situation better.

The shove is bad though. V1 check/called a raised pot and V2 went ahead and made a small raise to more then 1/3 of stack. Both of these things should be setting off alarms in your head and in the face of both your top pair good kicker is not longer a strong hand. This is time to fold. There is a remote chance your good if V2 is bad and has a weaker AX hand and V1 is on a draw. Most likely V1 has OESD or two pair+ and V2 has two pair+, with a good chance one of them has 66/44.
I agree with this--

Im curious what was your thinking before you shoved? What did you put these players on?

I don't think he did, hence the bad shove.

I'm okay with your flop raise, although I might raise a little more. Not a fan of the shove, on a dry board here, one of the V's has a set for sure. Im probably folding here after getting check raised.
