New to NL my set is wrecked 200NL

Lead the flop, 3bet his raise, too many cards kill your action or kill your hand. If you check-raise, do it big. This hand plays out much easier this way.

As played, he can push you off a Ten because by playing your hand face up, he can play perfectly with any two cards.

I likely would cry as I folded the river. I'd also debate sticking a 2/3 bet in on the turn and fold to a push.

duckman,

firstly, if you're new to NL, I certainly suggest starting at a lower level.

As for the hand, I believe that the C/R is widely used in limit poker. BUT, in NL a good winning player at these stakes should almost never need to use it. If you flop a monster, or a huge draw, it is almost always correct to bet/3bet rather than C/R. There are some instances where this is not true, but they are rare

Why on earth does everyone insist that Hero start playing NL at a lower level?

I didn't insit it, but I'd assume experience and confidence.

There is nothing wrong with encouraging new players to move down to 50NL to tables named either Pariana III, Cetus V, or Lyra III and sitting to the immediate right of a player called slapmyjack.
