Should have I protected my blind with ATo on a 2xBB raise?

I knew that blackie9 didn't have trips ( he raised/re-raised his PP), so I had to assume I had the best hand and put him on TPTK. Knowing he had a better kicker than me, the only move for me was to take the pot down on the flop. Question is will this type of scenario pay off for me or make me pay more in the future?
