You called me with Jack High?!? (lc/nc)

Having a read is a goot thing. Following through on it with Jack high might be a little nuts. I've played with villian alot and he's pretty TAG/ABC. He has one odd habit I've picked up on. He likes to minraise his small pp's 22-99 from UTG and UTG+1. That's the hand I put him on and I just follow it through to the end.

.50/$1 NLHE 9-handed

Preflop: Hero is CO with J [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 5 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. Hero posts a blind of $1. SB posts a blind of $0.50.
Villian minraises to $2, 4 folds, Hero calls $1, 2 folds, BB calls $1.

I should fold this obviously. But with a good read, thought I would see a flop and take it away from him unless he hit a set. 

Flop: ($6.25) T [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] T [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (3 players) 
BB checks, Villian bets $3, Hero calls $3, BB folds.

I pick up a flush draw. He wouldn't believe me if I raised anyway, so I call. Unless he has 33, I like my chances in the hand. 

Turn: ($12) K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 players) 
Villian bets $4, Hero calls $4.

 He gives me nice odds for my draw and I think I'll try to hit my hand first before raising him. 

River: ($19.50) K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 players) 
Villian bets $20, Hero calls $20.

Well, if he has what I suspect, a pp 99 or less, I am good so I call.

Results in white: Villian holds 77 and MHIG. Woot. A brag post I know... but I was very happy with my strategy in the hand and wanted to share my joy. I won a hand from the BB with 6 high once. Had 62 vs one limpers 54, checked down on an AAKK3 board. But winning with J high is pretty cool as well.

I saw a river raise called by ten high yesterday. For some reason though, he lost.
