Middle position opens to 2.5BB and I 3-bet to 7BB with AKo on the button. Mb calls. (SB calls but folds to flop c-bet) 
Flop comes K84. He checks and I c-bet around 9BB and he raises to 22BB.
I call 13BB.
Turn is A (spade draw now available)
He bets 32BB (about 1/2 pot)
I call
River is off suit 2
He bets 40BB to put me all in.
I think it looks like he has a set.
I call
He has 88
I think, Maybe I should be folding here? I know people will say that I am at the top of my range, but I felt he was keen to get it all in. I did feel I was probably behind. Is it wrong to think I could be folding here if I feel I am behind?

It was pokerstars 25c/50c zoom

I want to avoid getting stacked in hands where I feel I am behind. Is it a mistake to try to stop getting stacked in spots like this because it will make me too timid to be profitable? I am not too worried about being taken advantage of, because I would not fold every time, but I think if I can avoid a couple of these a session it would significantly benefit my win rate.

The flop raise is the first sign that he is probably strong, and the turn C-bet is confirmation, unless he bluffing wildly, and that would be the time to fold, but I guess if he was bluffing with his flop raise, his turn bet could be a double barrel on a scare card. or he could simply have an A and be thinking that he is now likely ahead of what was probably a pair of kings.
