I dont know how to post hand histories so ill just write it out.

I am only about 30 hands deep and villain is playing somewhat aggressively. He has raised my big blind when folded around to everytime (3 total). He has raised the button a couple of times as well.

Nl200 (6max)

Small Blind (Villain): $350
BIg Blind (Hero): $225

Big blind dealt (10s10h)

UTG-Dealer folds

Big Blind raises to $9

Hero?

I reraise to $30

Flop (7s8h9c)

Villain bets $40 (pot=$58)

Hero?

I reraise to $120
Villain thinks, pushes all in.

Hero?

I know i am beat, but i figure i have to call at this point. I only have 75 bucks left and the pot is about $295 and i have at least 10 solid outs to beat a set or an overpair (six with jj) plus 13 outs if he has 2 pair. If he flopped a str8 im in bad shape.

I call, villain shows 98, survives to win showdown.

What are your thoughts on this? Should I have done anything differently?
Me? I always tell the truth.

Even when I lie.

 It isn't bad.
I reraise a little more preflop, to like 34-35, since I don't like playing with TT in a RR pot against an aggro opponent all that much. I also probably just call the flop bet to see what goes on at the turn. If you hit a straight it's still fairly hidden since you RR preflop, so I think this is a good reason to just call.
My bankroll is the amount of money I would spend or lose before I got a job. It is calculated by adding my net worth to whatever I can borrow.

 I've never been too certain about these areas either. But this is how I'd play it too. I want to get all in here.

 I play it the same, to be honest.

I usually triple the LAG's preflop raise then raise the flop, especially on a board like this. Don't worry, if villain always calls OOP preflop another 10 big blinds with 98 against TT - you'll be fine in the long run.
