Betting/Raising bigger is needed here, but shoving over his straight up overkill. You would be shoving like a $9 stack into the pot of $1.20. Yeah, sure.... You are likely ahead, and there are a fair amount of draws. However, you are ahead of draws. You WANT draws to call your raise. Even if this means that he hits on the turn and wins the pot.* Your job in poker to put money in the pot when your a favorite, and to avoid putting money in the pot when your an underdog (unless they fold often enough). Here you are a favorite, you want to bet/raise an amount that he will call, yet that will make his call incorrect.
* Also remember, that even if you raise and he does call the flop with a draw and hit it on the turn, with our particular hand we have redraws to 10 outs going into the river.
