I like a bet of 500.

No reason to think you are behind, although I hate the board pairing.

I think getting value for you hand is more important than keeping the pot small here.

If he c/r, you probably have to let it go, but I continue with the assumption that I'm in the lead.

You could check behind an hopefully induce a bluff when ahead, but giving the free card to beat you is a catastrophy, and he hasn't shown to be on anything but a draw yet.

I bet for value.

woodguy i actually responded to this before i read any of the replys as i usually do.
but would you not the hand would be playd the same way if villain had 55?
limp in EP for the implied odds,decide to call the 100 raise cuz if you flop a set you can get paid off,
flop your set and check,then just cold call the bet,and the turn gives you a full house....???
