Early in session, no reads on the player as in most .01-.02 tables, reads don't happen very easily at those low stakes

Board [9c 4h Kh 2d Qc]

Should I have been more wary of the fact that the player seemed unfazed by the K? In a SitnGo I wouldve folded on turn or river for sure, but in ring games I've seen some screwy hands get called down so I felt I should go for it.

Opponent had pocket A's and obviously won.

I re-raise to something like .18 cents pre-flop. If I am playing this hand out of position I want to find out exactly where I stand quickly.

If called pre-flop I bet nearly the whole pot which would be around .40 on the flop. I don't mess around OOP.

As played (calling pre-flop) I bet closer to the pot on the flop or maybe even go for a c/r. On the turn I re-raise or fold. Read dependent.

After reading the spoiler I like my play of re-raising a lot pre-flop. That is when he pushes another raise and you can get away.

min raise on the turn should send alarm bells on that board (a flush draw would prob raise the flop, but gets a free pass on the turn so no need to raise it.)
as it was only a weak min raise I would call turn, check the river and call a small bet.
