Pot Size: $3.77 ($0.15 Rake)

BTN had 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (a straight, Four to Eight) and WON (+$1.77)
Hero had 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] and LOST (-$1.85)

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?
