$50 so so confused with top set
 

villain is 5.9/5.9 after ~45 hands. I know I'm not folding but I'm confused as to b/c, c/c, or c/r.

brutal spot. with his stats if he doesn't have an ace he probably has a pocket pair that would hit a set on that board. If it's QQ nh, but I'd get it all in and maybe let out a small war cry to fold the straight.

KQ is part of his range (just and assuming the 5.9 is accurate), but it's actually more likely he has a set.

I just ship the turn, i also bet more on the flop, $11.50 is good.

Well given that his most likely holding is a set I'd consider a check on the turn to trap him. it's a bit risky, but the turn is definately a scare card.

Shove. We have one pot sized bet left. If he'll call any part of that he'll call an all-in.

Im shoving here as well. The only reasonable queen he has is AQ and with those stats even thats pushing it but its a small sample so whatever. I feel like he could have AK here or a set fairly often and hes probably calling with those hands.
