Default NL $50 6 handed - too weak?

The following hand came up today after sitting for about 35 hands at a NL 50$
6-max table on eurobet (party).

My image I assume was pretty tight, I hadn't really played a lot of pots but at
this limit I don't know if anyone noticed. I had about 44$

The only read I really had on SB (villian) was that I saw him double up once
(from about 35$ to 70$ and then lose a series of pots by folding on the turn or
river after calling big raises, so he was down to about 40$ (37$ I believe). He
had been seeing a lot of flops. Seemed pretty fishy, but the hand he showed
down he had the best hand.

One limper to me on the button and I raise to 2$ (4x BB) with AcTc. SB calls,
BB folds and limper folds.

Flop comes down [ 6h, Th, 5s ] and he bets out 5$ with about 5$ in the pot.

I raise it up to 15$ (too weak?) hoping to push him off a heart or straight draw
and take it down right there. He calls.

Turn [8c] and he goes all in for about 20$ more. I fold. He shows JJ, but my
read was that he either hit his draw or had a set, both of which were wrong.

was my hand too weak for a preflop raise? did I not raise enough? Should I have
known that there was nothing he could've bet pot with on flop that I could've
made fold or beat? Were my odds good enough on the turn to call?

You reraised to ten more on the flop. Thats plenty big enough of a raise. Its tough sometimes when people only call with big pairs like that.

I think you played the hand fine, just got sort of unlucky to be up against an overpair. That said, this is a place where notes and reads are very important, if I knew this guy was a uber tight player I would check fold the turn. Given what you knew, you played it fine.
