This was played pretty poorly me thinks. I guess I should have folded on the turn. I think my re-raise was good on the flop as I figured the pf raiser for AK or similar. But yeah I definately think I should fold on the turn. Suggestions?

First, how did you figure the minraise for AK? In my experience, people did this at 25NL with any pckt pair, suited connecter, AK, AQ, AJ, sometimes even with just high cards... Really depends on reads.

Back to the hand, on the flop you think you're ahead right? So I would raise properly, probably 6.5 (to make it another 5 to big blind). You need to charge the hell out of flushchasers on this level! (SB then would smash it all in probably which you would call - realise you actually were beat on the flop but doesnt matter)

As you played, SB's minimum check-reraise actually screams monster. More importantly, if you looked at his stack you would realise calling on the flop actually would commit you to his remaining 4.25$ as well. You don't really have any outs for improving, so either fold or shove the flop in my opinion.

Another little tip which might interest you:

If the preflop minraiser has a PFR of less than 3% (it happens!), check-fold your 77 overpair on that board NO MATTER WHAT. Many people mess up "set it or forget it" situations at low stakes, make sure you're not one of them!
