I really dont like your Turn bet ... 1/3 potsize ir horrible IMO. I'd just check and let this one go.
I guess a t300 or t400 bet is not bad either.
But if we get called, and this rivercard comes ... omg.
I really cant see a Hand he is doing this with, wich we are beating.

Donk-Push.
I hate this Villain line, at the 11$ 6.50$ and even the 16$ this is almost allways a really strong hand.
I guess he either has a hidden Moster like a Set or Q5, would make sense to me ...
Checking into 2 guys with midpair ... getting checked arround.
Flop is a card he would beat.
He checks again and look what happens behind him.
There comes a tiny 1/3 Potsize bet and a fold, he thinks may his Q is good and calls.
Now he hit Twopair, and dont want you to check behind and make a (redicoulos)2,6xpotsize bet.

with 11 BB left, I can find a fold here ...

Betting the turn is a little thin....if your read is that they have nothing at all, then it's fine. If you do bet the turn, bet at least 300-350. 200 is a bit light. I probably call river.

My read was somewhat right as he won with 2 pr 7s and 9s. I put him on J 9 or K 9. Min bet was my biggest mistake, other than playing this hand in the first place

Check turn or bet 250-300. As played I think you have to bite yourself in the fingers and fold. You have to be good more often to call this overbet.
