Default NL $100, How to get away from top pair vs. sets?

Twice tonight I've doubled people up when they've hit sets against my top pair. Is there a different line I should be taking that might make it easier to not get reamed every time this happens?

In this hand, villain was loose and I thought there was a good chance he had a worse ace. I tried to represent QQ or something along those lines. I read his river bet as being weak.

MP1 ($55.10)
MP2 ($101.60)
MP3 ($21.10)
CO ($76.30)
Button ($86.40)

Preflop: Hero is BB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, MP1 calls $1, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP3 calls $1, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $5</font>, MP1 calls $4, MP3 calls $4.

Flop: ($15.50) A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $8</font>, MP1 calls $8, MP3 folds.

Turn: ($31.50) 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">MP1 bets $12</font>, Hero calls $12.

River: ($55.50) K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">MP1 bets $8</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $30</font>, MP1 calls $22.

Final Pot: $115.50

Results:
Hero has Qs Ac (one pair, aces).
MP1 has 5c 5d (three of a kind, fives).
Outcome: MP1 wins $115.50.


In this hand (which caused every converter I put it into to time out, for some reason) the PF raiser was a LAG. Villain was sLP-P.
