2 pair in Stars $50+5

I'm just limping trying to hit a flop. Villain has been making very small raises PF almost every time. I'm comfortable calling one of his dinkish raises.

Preflop: Hero is Button with J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">5 folds</font>, Hero calls t30, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">BB raises to t99</font>, Hero calls t69.

Flop: (t213) J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">BB bets t99</font>, Hero calls t99.

Flop hits me but I want to keep this pot small. I also figure I'll let villain keep bluffing.

Ok that card just gave me 2 pair. I feel very solid, especially against this player. After a series of min-raises we are eventually all-in. so much for keeping the pot small.

i think i tried to be too tricky here. should i be raising alot more? what if he re-raises?
