I haven't been playing all that long but after looking at it I probably should have reraised the the original raiser more then just a min raise right?

Always raise more than a min raise preflop. I think there are only certain situations where you would ever min raise though a hand. I would raise to around 300 preflop.
His flop bet would I think be repping a K here. I would just push flop.

Looks more like a bad beat. Really, I would re-raise more preflop. I probably would have re-raised to pot on the flop, but you weren't that far off.

He just sucked out. Meh. Your play is profitable more often than not. Just get rid of guys like that preflop with a stronger reraise.

In future make sure you don't show the results of the hand, if you post the results it may affect the advice you receive in a negative way.

Make a larger raise preflop. They are making a mistake by seeing a flop with you, and you want to charge them as much as you possibly can for that mistake. You don't want to be thinking, "What amount can I raise to make sure I get a customer?" You want to be thinking, "What amount can I raise, that produces the most value for me the times that I do?"

Also, by raising more preflop, it reduces your opponent's implied odds. This makes it less profitable for them to take flops with hands like small pocket pairs in an attempt to catch a set and stack you.

On the flop you should be making a larger raise. Notice that if you'd raised a larger amount preflop, the size of the pot on the flop would be a lot closer to the size of your stack, presenting you with the opportunity to get your money in sooner.

Standard play: Raise to 270 pre. When he makes the smallish bet on flop, you bet pot. If he calls (as he really, really shouldn't but then again he has nothin to do in the hand the first place) the right thing to do is to push.

270 is too light with 3 players behind, a pot size raise is needed.

Raise more preflop. But from the way he was able to call an insane amount on the turn with
a flush draw, I am assuming this guy was in a state of mind where he was ready to gamble with you no matter
what number you raised preflop.

Given villain's line, looks like he was stacking no matter what. Trifling over the raise sizes belies that. You just got sucked out by a donk. Bad beat.
