$4 NL HE Full Ring: Set of Q's on flop, possible straight on turn, what should I do ?

Sample was on 21 hands for villain

24 VPIP/10 PFR/0 AF

I flopped top set, everything is going really well for me on this hand

Grabbed by Holdem Manager
NL Holdem $0.04(BB) Replayer
SB ($4.69)
BB ($6.98)
UTG ($4.88)
Hero ($5.01)
UTG+2 ($3.97)
MP1 ($5.06)
MP2 ($2.43)
MP3 ($1.38)
CO ($5.29)
BTN ($4.94)

Dealt to Hero QQ

fold, Hero raises to $0.16, fold, fold, MP2 calls $0.16, fold, CO calls $0.16, fold, fold, fold,

FLOP ($0.54) 2TQ

Hero bets $0.39, MP2 folds, CO calls $0.39,

TURN ($1.32) 2TQK

Hero bets $1.30, CO raises to $2.60, Hero calls $1.30,

RIVER ($6.52) 2TQKA

Hero bets $1.86, CO calls $1.86

Now everything WAS fine, I know that when you flop a set, you almost always have the top hand and you'll rarely lose to a better hand, however, I learned that villains in the micros just LOVE to play stuff like J-9, K-J, Q-J and occasionaly just calling with A-J

I doesn't look too bad on the turn since I don't think he has slowplayed KK preflop according to his stats and the odds for him having exactly J-9 are small so I called his raise.

And then that A comes on the river, I didn't really know what to do on this so I tried to go all-in since i was already commited to the pot...

Did I play this one ok or not ?

TIA,

ARU

I'd shove the turn over his raise. I'd see that raise as any J (incl. J9 and AJ), any K, and any two pair - if I've got the range right, you've got equity and outs.

So I basically should've pushed AI on the turn instead of just calling since anyway I'm commited and I can't really fold on the river ?

BTW he had QTo so only two pair against my Q set but I minimized the table just after going AI on the river and I was absolutely sure to lose my stack :D. Let's say I had a nice surprise when the table began to blink in the taskbar.
