I bet for value on the flop, and made a little blocking bet to prevent a bluff on the turn, and was planning to check it down, but since I hit two pair on the river I went on made a fair bet. When my opponent re-raised me, since he didn't show much power before, I assumed it likely that he has an AK or some kind of other overcards that he was chasing with. Maybe even an A5 or an A3.

Did I play this hand correctly? Should I have folded to his re-raise?
