Default Stars 5/10 leaves a bad taste in my mouth

Villain is umm 20/0 after 14 hands fwiw, so pretty much totally unknown; i think it's safe to assume then that i'm unknown to him too.
This hand leaves me feeling kind of like a chump, but at the same time i can't really find much fault in my play.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $10 BB (8 handed) Poker Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

UTG+1 ($1942.25)
MP1 ($478.50)
MP2 ($1062)
Hero ($995)
Button ($2160.50)
SB ($2652.75)
BB ($816.25)
UTG ($1000)

Preflop: Hero is CO with Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $40</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, BB calls $30.

Flop: ($85) 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $65</font>, <font color="#CC3333">BB raises to $160</font>, Hero calls $95.

Turn: ($405) J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">BB bets $180</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $795

Is there any better play really?

I think 3betting the flop would work fine too, is there any reason you're waiting for the turn to stick it in?

what is the taste most comparable to?

I wanted to wait until the turn because it's hard to know where i'm at here, and if i rr the flop i'm more or less committed to the hand: whereas if i wait til the turn i get to see another card as well as his action before i decide.

and it's the bitter taste of self disappointment
