Forgive me for the format.

CO raises $.75
I'm on the button with AcQh and reraise to $2
CO is only caller

Flop 7s Qd 4s.

CO checks
I bet $4
CO check raises all-in $23
I call all in for remainder of my $17 stack

He shows Ks9s and hits the flush on the river...

I just feel now that I should have folded this hand...even though I felt I was up against a draw

Why? You got your money in good and lost to a draw. Just shrug and move on.

You could 3bet bigger, however (at least 3x original raise)

if you are passing up on +EV games your leaving money on the table might as well not play then because theres a chance you could lose.

Nope. Fold here is -EV way too many times.

He calls with AK/AQ/AK/KQ/KJ/55+ way too many times here in 25nl. It was a bad beat.

A bigger 3 bet might have been in order and I don't know if I like the 2/3 pot bet on the flop, hands like KQ/QJ you'd want to keep in the hand for value. Usually after that kind of a bet, only a handful of drawing hands, 2 pairs or made sets would stay - which isn't really what you want.

But without a read on him, I'd say you got your money in good with TPTK.

My biggest issue seems to be second guessing every play I make, when I lose a big pot. Thanks for the comments.
