Default 99 NL $100 against Donk

No prior stats on Villain. My initial read is that he seems donkish. Just sat down a few orbitals ago, and have seem him limp/call raises several times. Seems to like to limp in early position and all over the table for that matter. Effective stacks of $137.50 (Hero) and $126.13 (Villain). The game is $.50/$1 (100 max) on Bodog.

Hero is dealt 99 on the button

Preflop
Villain raises to $3 from the CO
Hero raises to $14.50 from the button
Villain Calls

Hero and Villain see flop
Pot size is now (27.50)
Flop comes 8J10 rainbow

Villain checks
Hero bets $24.50
Villain min raises my bet to ($50.25)

Thoughts??? Any input would be great. Is this an easy shove?
How do I interpret his raise? What do u feel like villain's range is here? FYI, I was berated for my play, after the hand.

Default Re: 99 NL $100 against Donk

If he limps all the time, perhaps his raise means he has a decent hand. I think preflop just calling in position with 99 is okay. Raising is okay too - but if I raise I'm going to play cautiously if he calls my raise (since we'll be playing a huge pot and 99 is a tricky one to play for stacks postflop with unimproved).

So, you reraise preflop - that's cool - and the flop brings you an OESD. This guy limp/calls preflop a lot, which probably means he doesn't like to fold. If you bet this flop, you're going to get called by any piece of the board, any draw, maybe even whiffed overs - but this flop figures to have helped him somehow. Just take the free card on the flop, and see what the turn brings and if he leads.
