Default Battle of the Blinds Flopping Top Two

Villain (BB) in this hand is a average to above average player for the .25/.50 level. Doesn't do anything crazy although two other times that there has only been one limper in before him on the big blind he has raised it.
As always sorry for the format, bodog is not converter friendly.
Villain ~$75
Hero ~65

Hero is in SB and has Ax Jx, all fold to me, I complete and am already thinking to myself, this guy is gonna raise it, he does to $3, I call $2.50.
Flop is Ax, Jx, Tx ($6)
I know for a fact he will bet at it, as a continuation bet since he was trying to steal the blinds, so Hero checks, Villain bets $5, Hero reraises to $15, Villain goes all in, and it is about $47 more to me.

I took almost the full time allowed, sitting there and finally decided tht there was enough chance that he could be playing any A like that, just being stubborn, so I did call.
Turns out, I was the stubborn one, he turned over TT and took it down. Oh well, in other positions I think I get away from this, in fact I know I fold to the preflop raise if there are others in the hand, but this just seems too far fetched just HU vs the BB. Probably a leak in my game.
