Check-calling top two from the SB

[TreyOfLight]

Only a few hands with villain, but he's up a buyin and has won every hand he's shown down. He limps a lot of pots but seems to be a thinking, cautious player.

Preflop, I usually don't raise this much, but I was getting lots of action from my PF raises and don't enjoy AKo oop with a large field. Postflop, TT and JJ seemed like the only plausible drawing hands so I was willing to give up a free card. I also didn't want to scare off AQ.

I would (normally) never play it like this, but then good players aren't known for calling 8BB raises cold and my spideysense was tingling.

What do you think of this line?
