Pacific Poker - NL50 10max

SB(146.31)
BB(46.99)
UTG(21.46)
MP1(28.9)
MP2(126.55) - HERO
LP(56.67)

entire table has been fairly loose. SB had been very loose and aggressive and had stolen a fair number of pots.

Hero is dealt JdQh

UTG raises to $1,MP1 calls,hero calls,button calls,Sb calls, BB calls

flop: Qs8sTd

SB checks,BB checks, UTG bets $1,MP1 folds, hero raises $3.50,button calls, SB raises $6,BB calls,UTG calls,hero calls,button calls

Turn: 2c

SB bets $19.28,BB calls, hero folds, button folds

River: 9d

SB bets $21.15, BB calls - SB shows T8 for 2 pair and wins

My question is should I have called the turn? SB had often tried to steal pots w/ a raise but he hadn't re-raised up to that point. My thinking was that SB had 2 pair QT's so I'm only drawing to 7 outs, little did I know my Q's were good as well. Should I have folded to the reraise on the flop?

what are blinds in this game?

fold to the re-raise on the flop...you've got top pair medium kicker in 6 handed pot. Let it go and pick a better spot.

The blinds are .25 and .50 in this game. I didn't fold to the reraise because I was getting around 13:1 immediate odds and figured the implied odds were much greater. On the turn I was getting around 4:1 , which would have made it close(w/ implied odds) if I could have been sure the 2 remaining Q's weren't dirty. I know we aren't supposed to be results oriented but it just kills me that I could have stacked this guy if I had hung on til the river.
