Board has overcards to my pair

Hey, guys, first hand history post... don't eat me up too badly. I was wondering if I missplayed this hand on the flop. I was out of position and the flop scared me. I didn't want to lose too many chips here, so I just checked. When my opponent pushed, I had a nagging feeling that he might be bluffing but he made it expensive for me to find out. What's your opinion?

Thanks.

did you limp/re-raise pre-flop?

Just call his PFR, or push PF. You have precious little room for postflop play with his stack being that small. As played, a 1/2 size pot bet is over half his remaining stack and commits him to push, either on the flop or the next street, so it's check/fold or push.

With no reads, it's check/fold here all day. Hell even with reads its check/fold.

call preflop, or fold ...i'd fold here ( i like getting more than 10 to 1 implied odds when i call a raise with small/medium PP) ...calling is fine, tho ..

if you do call your looking to hit a set....check/ fold this flop...

Did you Limp/reraise?

For some reason, my opening raise wasn't converted. Hand actually goes like this:

Actually, looking at it again, I can put him on a premium pair with his small reraise and quick call of my reraise. Yeah, I think fold was the right move here on the flop.

you should probably not 4bet 99 too much PF w/o a read.
