JJ is another possibility.
I personally think that JJ is out of the question. especially calling a $3->$9 raise preflop. If the player is as strong as you said he was, then he would of detected AA with your reraise and known that JJ is something like 50% vulnerable to overcards on the flop. Not worth the money.

as for your hand. Bad laydown in my opinion. especially at your level where alot of people will push hands like AK, AQ (and even sometimes without hitting anything). Its one of these hands that yes you might be loosing to a set of trips, but thats poker and I guess you'll have to pay him off. I personally put him on AK, or AQ because why would he bet30$ on the flop leaving him a 10$ stack. It sound like he was trying to push you off the hand but just in case leave himself money to keep on playing if he has to fold. It just doesn't make any sense, why 30 and keep 10 when he could of put all his money in if he really had a set??? Don't you want to put all your money in when you have the best hand??

tell me what you think.
