What do you guys do here
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?

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.

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.

pot odds, you have to call

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.
