I have no strong read about the player I'm up against, although it's the first I've seen him reraised in about 40 mins.

I don't feel I played it correctly, what should I have done ?

with that board and a reraise preflop i think i'd fold the flop bet.

could be a weak fold, but it just looks like we're behind here.

if you're going to fold when the turn blanks, you ought to fold on the flop.

i'd probably have led the flop and folded to further aggression.

hmm, even if you're ahead of him...(if he's reraised with JJ or QQ) he could still have a redraw on those hands if he's got a spade. And you're drawing dead against AA KK AK.

I probably would have thrown out a flop bet here and tried to take it down...if it didn't work that's the last money that goes in the pot for me.

I don't mind the check/call on the flop though. You could still be ahead. After a potbet on the turn you're more than likely not so good fold.
