10NL: Two-pair get raised. Ahead or behind?

[Ten Dollar Man]

I'm pretty lost when it comes to facing raises on the flop when I don't know if I'm ahead or behind. Please advice.

Villain is 35/14/.5

Texas Hold'em $0.10-$0.20 NL

BB ($12.15)
UTG ($4.95)
UTG+1 ($3.90)
UTG+2 ($6.00)
MP1 ($11.05)
MP2 ($13.90)
Hero($10.10)
Villain ($8.75)
BTN ($4.60)
SB ($1.75)

PRE-FLOP: Hero has QS AH
UTG calls $0.10, 1 folds, UTG+2 calls $0.10, 1 folds, MP2 calls $0.10, Hero bets $0.45, Villain calls $0.45, 6 folds.

FLOP: ($1.35) 2C QH AS (2 player)
Hero bets $1, Villain bets $2.50...

He's clearly saying he can beat top-pair. Low post-flop AF speaks against a semi-bluff with a gutshot, and also against raising with AJ or AT.

The only hands I can imagine beating is AK and A2. On the other hand, there are no hands that beat me other than 22 and the unlikely QQ and AA.

How should I think in this situation? How would you proceed?

Thanks

raise more pf. i would just call this, and try to get it in on the turn (c/call a push, or just put him in on the river if the turn checks through). if he has 22 so be it.

Push, Board is too drawy to go into showdown mode, and you have the best hand most of the time.

Raisy Daisy!! I'm all in here, and I bet he calls. If this was my hand he would most certainly have a set but you're prolly good here.

i am not a full ring player but i am not folding top 2 at 10nl on an unconnected rainbow flop. if he has you beat make a note on him (that he flat calls aa or something like that)

Raise more preflop, 3bet AI. As for the board being too drawy, I only see a couple gutshot straight draws out.

jesus raise. no fold. if he has 22, coolered, but what can ya do.
