I'd go raise it up on the flop.

Indeed raise the flop, find out where you are and check he hasn't flopped some ludicrous two pair.

I'd have put in a nice raise PF and tried to take it down there (to T200 or so).

Post flop, I like quite a lot and probably don't do this enough myself. You're likely ahead against an opponent with 3-5 outs. It's certainly possible that you're behind (to a set or 2-pair), but can you get away from TP/GK at ths blind level if you raise to 350 or so (the alternate line)? I could not.

If you raise the flop, he may fold a worse hand (a middle pair or worse ace). But if you call, you invite him to bet again. The turn card is mildly dangerous, so you decide to drop the hammer there. I imagine you were thinking something like this?

Raising PF is bad in my opinion, you'll be OOP on the flop.

I agree with Tigerite and Splashpot. Raise the flop. Don't raise out of position pre-flop.

Buy-in is $11, $22, $33?

And what did he have A2, or did he flop the 2-pair/set?

I think this is a ok line. I would prefer this line though if it was not the sb betting. With the sb the chances of 2 pair greatly increase, so given that I would prefer to reraise on the flop to make sb define his hand.

2-pair shouldn't be leading this strong (or at all) having flopped 2-pair/set - ESPECIALLY with the Ace and an EP limper in the hand.

This is a $11, and if you're looking at the hand assuming that I posted because I lost, think again.
