Prima 2/4NL full ring
I have ~$350, Solid Villain (SV) has ~$150, and Weak Villain (WV) has ~$160.

SV is pretty TAG, I've seen nothing crazy from him yet.
I limp UTG with TT. Folded to SV in MP, who raises to $16. WV calls in LP, and I call. Pot is about $50

flop is something like 9 5 2, raggedy rainbow.
I check, SV bets $16, WV calls, I raise to $60.

My thinking: Preflop I called mainly for set value. On the flop I was ready to let it go for a pot sized bet, but SV only bet 16. So I decided to test him with a raise. I thought this way I could punish a missed AK for betting so small, and also get JJ and QQ to lay it down. I wasn't concerned about WV since he would've raised the $16 bet if he had anything.

Comments? Anyone play it differently?

if you feel JJ QQ folds, this is good play.

I like the play a lot for the reasons you stated, but I think your raise needs to be bigger, maybe 75. This is closer to the pot size after the bet/call. And as amoeba said, this is nice if you can fold out an overpair with this hand, but not so nice if you get pushed into with these hands.
