This was just my 2nd hand at this table. No reads.

***** Hand History for Game 2097107784 *****
$25 NL Hold'em - Tuesday, May 24, 03:05:02 EDT 2005
Table Table 37321 (6 max) (Real Money)
Seat 1 is the button
Total number of players : 5
Seat 1: blaznskunk ( $30.05 )
Seat 4: JBYRD64 ( $10.9 )
Seat 5: jrm642 ( $41.1 )
Seat 6: rounder_2004 ( $14.95 )
Seat 2: theeggman ( $24.75 )
theeggman posts small blind [$0.1].
JBYRD64 posts big blind [$0.25].
** Dealing down cards **
Dealt to theeggman [ Kh Ks ]
jrm642 raises [$0.5].
blaznskunk folds.
theeggman raises [$1.9].
JBYRD64 folds.
jrm642 calls [$1.5].
** Dealing Flop ** [ Qd, 8h, 6d ]
rounder_2004 has left the table.
theeggman bets [$4].
jrm642 calls [$4].
** Dealing Turn ** [ 6h ]
theeggman bets [$5].
jrm642 raises [$15].
theeggman calls [$10].
** Dealing River ** [ 9c ]
theeggman is all-In [$3.75]
jrm642 calls [$3.75].
Results in white below
theeggman shows [ Kh, Ks ] two pairs, kings and sixes.
jrm642 shows [ Jc, 6c ] three of a kind, sixes.
jrm642 wins $47.75 from the main pot with three of a kind, sixes.

Best I can figure is that I could have saved 1/2 my stack by not calling his turn raise. I was very concerned when he played back at me but I just couldn't part with my hand. How do you guys play it?
I'll be a rootin' tootin' shootin' damn fool, protectin' my chips.

Larger pre-flop raise folds out hands like J6s.

He reraised a min-raise to about 8x...anyone calling here would likely call a larger bet too.

He bet the pot on the flop as well.

Neither play looks suspect to me. The thing I'd fear from the turn bet is a set that just turned into a boat. Him holding J6 is insane.

Your turn bet looks weak, so an aware player might make a play like this with nothing. If your opp is fairly straight forward (I'd assume most are at this level...though you have to figure that they'll bluff [badly] as well), I'd strongly consider folding to the play back.
