Default 5/10NLCASH - Top set on bad board vs. c/r what\'s your line and why?

We've been playing about 10-15 minutes. I bought in for 500 and doubled through with 78 on a 9 10 J board vs. his QJ. Other than that, pretty standard preflop, flop betting.

PeopleMover is at seat 0 with $1213.50.
blingbling MF is at seat 1 with $1268.
The button is at seat 0.

PeopleMover posts the small blind of $5.
blingbling MF posts the big blind of $10.

PeopleMover: Qc Qd
blingbling MF: -- --

Pre-flop:

PeopleMover raises to $30. blingbling MF calls.

Flop (board: Th 9h Qh):

blingbling MF checks. PeopleMover bets $50.
blingbling MF raises to $185. PeopleMover ????????

I play NL50, not NL1K. So I am not really sure what's std in YOUR limit. But if your villain is pretty std(as you described him), then you've got to play std with your top set on very heavy board.
If it was NL50 and std(descent opponent), I would rr 2.5 and get it in anyway, even knowing that his range is pretty nice for him here.

Get it in and be happy about it. And also, don't play 1000NL if you are not rolled for it to buy in full. Just advice.

Shoving kinda sucks because you have so much behind. He should be folding almost all hands with less than 50 percent equity (open ender, FD), prolly except 2pair hands and AhQx, and call with the ones above 50% (combo draws, made str8s and flushes). Meaning you force him to play correctly according to the FTOP.
On the other hand not shoving sucks, too, because so many turn cards are a pain in the ass.

That's why I suggested to rr 2.5 times(I do that also with bluff).
