Default 88 in BB HU against a pud

I've played lots of fixed, micro, and am new to NL. I have yet to read a NL book, and have been doing a trial-by-fire. The nickel and dime tables have been an experiment for me. I have found these tables to be very soft. Often have seen one player push all-in with overcards, and a caller with a draw.

Villain is has been tightish, very aggressive pre-flop (25/20), but his post-flop play has been poor in my observation. He's been mostly stealing blinds wth his big pf raises. In one hand, he called an all-in bet on the river with a 99x9A board with JTs--went to the river with no pair, no draw. In an earlier hand with me, we were HU on the an Ace-high rainbow flop, when I checked to him with a mid-pair, and he pushed all-in. Decided not to call, waiting to trap him with a better hand. Also, the guy has been a jerk, berating the table for being lucky and the players were "rookie." In my mind he was talking too much. This would not be the ideal hand, but I felt good about my read:

FullTilt .05/.10 NL (<font color="red">8-handed</font>)
Villain ($10.75)
Hero ($11.60)
[other stacks from $2-15]

Pre-flop: Hero is BB with 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. Folded to Villain in MP2, who <font color="red">raises to $.75</font>. Folded to Hero, who calls.

Flop: ($1.55) 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="red">Hero bets $1.55</font>. <font color="red">Villain raises $10 (all-in)</font>.


This seemed like an overbet. If the guy had anything of a hand, he'd be trying to extract my chips from me not force me out. Am I right?
