I didnt have a plan for the turn, should I have just folded to the flop reraise?

[Scuba Chuck]

I think leading or checking the flop is fine. With one less person, I prefer the lead, with one more person, I prefer a check. If you had at least a BD FD, I could see calling the min c/r, but the way you played this hand, you got the information you needed to fold, IMO.

That being said, this is a $10+1, anything can happen.

This is tough, I think I would lead out on the flop with a pot bet. I fold to his reraise. I would rather not get involved this early. I would even consider checking the flop considering it is 3 handed.

[cakewalk]

thing about ace/rag is you gotta know when to let it go.

that said i would be expecting a raise or something if you were miles behind at any point here. give it a call

[Scuba Chuck]

I was thinking about this hand more, and I think I really prefer checking the flop here, and seeing if there's a c-bet. I think there's more of a chance to scoop up more chips long term by inducing a pot steal than leading out here. Also, I generally want to see a turn card if I'm going to be putting any chips in the middle. If you improve with an ace or a 9, I think this hand becomes much easier. Anyway, I think check-call see a turn and decide is a line I prefer here. If you check, and don't care for the action, it's also easy to let go.
