I would play the hand exactly as you did. By just calling preflop you can get him to bet virtually every flop for you and you often won't receive credit for having as good of a hand as you actually have. IMO, reraising preflop increases the amount that you will lose when you are behind (as you become somewhat committed to betting the flop, even if you don't like it) and makes it more likely that your opponent will get away from a marginal hand since you've represented a big pair all the way.
