How would you have played this ? Table was very tight and easy to steal but i don't use hud so i don't have stats on BB.

Ok. Villain had AA and won the pot

Here comes another question- is it really a good idea to play such small pairs that have hit full house with a flop containing a higher pair?
I ran the situation in PokerStove and i was about 82% to win the hand (against AA)but still similar situations have happened before and therefore i'm a bit afraid of flops like that.

There's plenty of things to be afraid of, but situations where you're 82% to win are not one of them.

"Table was very tight"
"BB reraised you heavily"

Does anyone fold pre, knowing you're way behind, or do you always call big raises with large effective stacks holding any PP, hoping to stack villains the few times you hit a set?

No big reraises in this hand. He makes it $0.90 I fold.

Yeah I guess so, just 3x your bet. I get thrown off sometimes with doing the quick math involving amounts that are not an even (.10, $1, etc).

I take 82% favorite 100% of the time, and will win only 60% of them and be perfectly happy.

Hand was played fine, just a bad suck out. The stack size preflop may not warrant a calling of the reraise, but that is my own personal peference. I like it to be closer to 40 times the raise when I am below 55 with my pocket pair, then move towards 20 as I approach JJ.
