    Seat 8: BulletTC (small blind) folded before Flop

    After the all-in, I put him on JJ or a high pocket pair.

    I know the flop bet was WEAK, and was asking to be raised, but how much should I have raised? Half pot, 3/4 pot, the pot? Or check, and call their bet if the odds are there?

    you were making a standard continuation bet.........so it needed to be at least 1/2 -3/4 pot.

    I tend to go with 1/2 pot.

    If my math is correct, you came in at 1/3 pot and were begging for him to re-raise you.

    You were probably beat anyway, so be happy you bet on the light side.

    I dont love the re-raise PF with AK. You should have been happy to call him there. Everyone forgets that AK is just a drawing hand...yes its the best drawing hand, but its still a draw. You raise it to minimize the field, and drive out the trash. Poops raise did that for you already. No need to re-raise here. I would only be making the re-raise with QQ-AA.
