I've folded based on him having a AK or KQ. Is this a bad fold here.

Either check or bet something significant. You bet 1.59 into a 5.35$ pot you should expect to get raised.

You outplayed yourself. I reraise with anything against a bet like that.

So I should still bet strong with 1/2 or 3/4 of pot here.

So by betting that amount i invited a reraise?

Thanks for the comments.

2/3 or 3/4 should be a standard bet imo.
