Been a while since I've had this come up... how's my line?

I think he's Loose passive and weak postflop. I have tracker stats but I ignored them. Sample size is only 17 hands.

No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $0.05/$0.10
6 players

Stack sizes:
UTG: $2
UTG+1: $6.80
Hero: $25.25
Button: $8.75
SB: $13.50
BB: $4

Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is CO with A/images/graemlins/heart.gif K/images/graemlins/spade.gif
UTG (poster) checks, UTG+1 calls, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises to $0.5</font>, 4 folds, UTG+1 calls.

Flop: 9/images/graemlins/club.gif K/images/graemlins/diamond.gif T/images/graemlins/heart.gif ($1.25, 2 players)
UTG+1 checks, <font color="#cc0000">Hero bets $1</font>, <font color="#cc0000">UTG+1 raises to $2</font>, Hero calls.

Turn: J/images/graemlins/diamond.gif ($5.25, 2 players)
<font color="#cc0000">UTG+1 is all-in $4.3</font>, Hero folds.

Standard? I can't see much worse then two pair here I think.

On the flop that c/r shows a lot of strength and leaves villian with less than a pot bet left, he's pretty commited. Calling is the worst option I feel, Instead of folding on the following streets you should fold right here, as checking through seems unlikely. If you wanted to continue with the hand I feel the best option is to shove.

My idea was to call and reevaluate the turn. If a scare card comes I'll get out. If it's an otherwise safe turn, I was going to felt it.

Do you really fold the flop to a min check/raise with AK?

No need to reevaluate. Shove when you have a read. Fold more often than not although it seems weak/tight. Given your read (weak/passive) it's a fold.
