Default PS 6.5 - Good laydown of two pair?

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t50 (6 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

UTG (t1675)
UTG+1 (t4950)
CO (t1960)
Button (t1465)
SB (t1540)
Hero (t1910)

Preflop: Hero is in BB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
<font color="gray">UTG folds</font>, UTG+1 calls t50, CO calls t50, Button calls t50, <font color="gray">SB folds</font>, Hero checks

Flop: (t225) 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (4 players)
Hero checks, UTG+1 checks, CO checks, <font color="red">Button bets t150</font>, <font color="red">Hero raises to t450</font>, <font color="gray">UTG+1 folds</font>, <font color="red">CO raises to t1500</font>, <font color="gray">Button folds</font>, <font color="gray">Hero folds</font>

He was obviously planing on either check-raising or sand-bagging to the turn. I can't imagine he'd let a free card roll off with just something like TPTK, and he'd probably also would have raised pre-flop with that. Can't think of a whole lot I'm ahead of here.

Get it in, this could be alot of hands you're crushing, this could be AQ, KQ, QJ, QT or a draw or slowplayed AA, KK. You see enough goofy things here you that you have to ship it in.

I basically never fold 2 pair unless its some super connected board with a good read. Getting it in here is good.

I can't lay that down. There's no draws...And the only hand I'm really worried about is 99, since Q9 seems like unlikely even for a pf limp at the 6.50's, and QQ and 55 require the last 2 of those cards, makes them unlikely. Two pair on this flop is a monster.

If you ACTUALLY folded here you're a complete nit and you should quit poker.
