AJs - $.05/$.10 Stars Full Ring

CO was somewhat loose. I shouldn't have re-raised w/ AJ. I probably played this wrong from beginning to end, but ... Feedback please.

I would probablly flat call preflop as you are out of position for the rest of the hand. The flop play I think was fine, but I do not understand the turn bet. I would probablly fold that river as well as it is likely he is holding something like KQ/KJ.

Agree with just calling pre-flop, but if you're going to re-raise, don't min-reraise, bump it up to somthing like 3X opponents bet.

You're flop bet is less than 1/3 of the pot, that seems pretty weak to me, so you can't give the re-raise quite as much credit. With no draws, a K would probably just smooth-call you. At this level, your opponent's line looks as much like Ax as anything else, so I'm not sure if you're ahead here or not. I'd probably bet 1.25 on the flop and see how he reacts.
