Was my fold on the turn too weak or was it the correct play. Put one of them either on two pair at this point, or ace with a better kicker.

you're in the small blind, so pre flop is ok

got to be cautious though with Ace rag....you want to hit two pair yourself or get a draw, not get wedded to the Ace

you pick up a gutshot, but you know you are behind

on the turn you haven't got the odds to draw to the 2 you need, I think the fold is ok though personally I could happily check call at these levels and see what sort of Ace he is playing with

yeah so much weak bluffing by idiots goes on around this level check-calling makes you alot of money in the long run. if you take that kinda style onto the higher levels you'll get destoryed though so watch it.
i'd call and call on this one personally.
