NL5 - Facing all-in reraise on flop - thoughts?

Blinds: $0.02/$0.05 (6 Players) UTG: $6.02
MP: $11.46
CO: $6.73
BN: $7.71
SB: $7.16 (Hero)
BB: $4.80
Preflop ($0.07) Hero is SB with 5 5
UTG folds, MP calls $0.05, 2 folds, Hero raises to $0.18, BB folds, MP calls $0.10
Thought about making it .20 instead of .15 due to the call showing weakness, but pocket 5's are not that strong by themselves anyways.
Flop ($0.38) 2 5 4
Hero checks, MP bets $0.52, Hero raises to $1.56, MP raises to $11.83, Hero
After he re-raised, I wasn't entirely sure what to think. He could have 44 or 22, both of which I beat. Maybe he has 67? The only hand that I could think of that beat me is A3. The size of the re-raise says he has the nuts, but it's 5NL. People will do that with Top Pair, Medium kicker. Thoughts?

this is a stackoff, but I mean there are a lot of straight combos (mb even 20?), we're not fistpumping.

Am I the only one who folds 22 in this spot? And really hates his life with 44?

Yeah, I'd hate this situation without a topset. But without reads I wouldn't fold 22 here.
Against a passive player, I probably wouldn't raise 22 here in the first place.

vs. a guy who limps/call preflop at 5NL? No way i would fold any set, although i can agree that it wouldnt be the most profitable stack off in the world, but still EV+.

Yeah. Check-raise was table dependent here. Everyone was playing really tight, UNLESS you showed weakness by checking. It was a weird table, but I could basically cbet any flop I did not connect with and everyone would fold so long as I was the preflop raiser. If I would raise preflop, then everyone would bet/re-raise. I had a fairly tight image, so I believe they were trying to push me off my hands that they thought I did not connect with.

So basically, if I had a hand, I'd check and get value with them betting. If I missed, I'd cbet and they would fold.

I made a lot of money after this hand off that table.
