The rest is fine.
Actually, it's an ilikeaces thing. I just do it because JJ/TT have paid off more for me since I started following his example. I did consider reraising preflop here, since it was heads-up. Decided I'd wait though, as chances of him having overcards AND hitting the flop were slim.

Interesting aside: I am finding that I'm starting to like limping marginal "raising" hands for the benefit it gives toward reading typical opponents and disguising my hand (esp in EP). If I have AJ and raise preflop, if I get a caller and hit an ace, I may be in trouble (and if not, everyone's gonna fold). On the other hand, if I limp and an ace hits, I may well double up against A9s.
