    You can't call a re-raise on the turn. You're beat 99% of the time.

    Fold it.

    Also, deposit some money and play atleast $50 NL will ya?

    I have only been playing poker around 1-2 weeks so i dont really think 50 dollars is appropriate.

    Don't be a jerk. Not everyone is rolled for the higher limits.

    Dog-Toy...bet the flop, say $0.25 - $0.30. If either of them call, re-evaluate the turn. If either of them raise (and it's not a pussy min-raise,) then fold.
    PJ is right though, you can't call the turn bet. You have to either raise or fold and I think it's probably best to just fold.
    I think I'm going to give up playing poker.........and take up repeatedly hitting myself in the nuts

    Agreed. A bet on the flop may win it for you and at the very least you'll know where you stand. Also, preflop with a couple of limpers you could maybe throw in a decent sized raise here, maybe 5-6bb and try to take the pot down there too, with the knowledge that you're in good position post-flop. btw, for someone who's only been playing less than 2 weeks i'm glad to see you can lay down a medium pocket pair, so many others (including me when i first started) would be losing alot more there.

    And yeah, stay at those limits for a while there's no point in jumping into 25/50c and getting your ass handed to you, not good for the confidence.
    For Free Money, Rakeback and some 6x Ongame bonuses, I recommend PokerSource.

    I recommend Cardrunners for superb poker coaching. It was honestly the single biggest improvement in my game signing up there! Sign-up fee might seem steep, but it pays itself back within weeks.
