This is bad. UNLESS you have a strong read on a player being really bad, it should be clear as day that you were beat.

You have to think about what he thinks you're likely to have... He knows you raised PF- he has to consider you have a decent pocket pair. Even with the first minraise, some bells should be going off. There was no point in reraising him. Once you did it and he kept raising, there's no way you're ahead.

Looking at the board (uncoordinated with only a flush draw) 9 out of 10 times, the guy has a set.

Call the minraise. I would consider calling a very small bet on the turn with the flush draw. Fold to any real bet.

Thanks, you have some good points... But if I would only call his first raise on the flop there's a big chance that he'll bet say a half pot bet on the turn to which I'd fold - correct?

yes, i think that would be a good line.

if that sounds weak, remember: the pot was only a little bit over 3 $ on the flop. you have shown much strength on the flop with your bet and your opponent is not very likely to try to bluff you off an overpair in this spot. it can't be good poker to loose 30$ more on a one pair hand in a 3$ pot.
as far as i have experienced, overplaying premium starting hands pre flop and on the flop is a very common and devastating mistake in small nl games.
