Table is a mixture of TAggs and rocks with a couple somewhat bad players thrown in. This was my last hand at the table.

Raiser is kinda TAggy, not much read on BB, but seems kinda decent.

How much do you raise here?

$2. Easily callable, but questionable with suited connectors (the hands you most fear with AA). Juices the pot enough that they might get married to TPGK.
Up my bankroll - buy Saints Row.

Pocket pairs are my biggest fear pre-flop.

if mkapn didn't call, i'd probably trap him, but since he did call, I'd reraise it to $2-3 hoping he'll over play TT-KK
take your ego out of the equation and judge the situation dispassionately

 Its only a 3bb raise so i'd think the bb can call anything suited/connectors and definatly a pp. I'd agree biggest threat post flop is a pp hitting trips, but you only have initial raiser to act behind you so im tempted to call and wait for the turn to make my move unless its a dangerous flop. With 3bbs at 25nl is he raising something like KQ?/even a decent ace AJ/AQ?
For me id call and try to trap here for his stack when he hits tp/gk or something similar.

...because we just love playing one pair out of position with lots of money behind?

Tougher game than the stakes would suggest. Also, with live ones in the hand this is a much easier problem because I probably could get calls for $4-$5 here.

Flat calling intending to check/raise sounds great, but the money is deep enough that I don't think it sucks him in with worse hands and it gives him a practically free shot at my stack because it probably does suck me in.

Still adapting. Remember, I built my roll in some of the softest 50bb buy-in NL games ever on the internet, then pretty much moved onto limit with some SnGs mixed in...

 Point taken.
If you can get them to call for more than $2/3 i'd make the play all day long.
