I reraised on the flop hoping to push him off, then decided to fire again on the turn, and didn't feel like I could fold for an extra $2.70.

Sure, as played you have to call $2.7. And you're right, you played the hand very badly.
You tried to push him off, planning to 2nd barrel the turn when villain calls, telling you he likely has a K?
You don't need to protect your hand, because a) you may not have the best hand b) no draws are out there. Your hand is not strong, too, so you obviously should not build a big pot. Use your position advantage. That means:
If your opponent is aggressive and will likely bet the turn, just fold. If this hand is going to showdown, you need to hit your 2-outer.
If he's a nit you may try to win the pot by calling his c-bet and b/f'ing if the turn bricks and he checks.

I'm thinking just c-f the flop, or c-c and fold if he continues pressure?

c-f, c-c = check-fold, check-call? I'd like to see that when you are in position [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
