Default Resteal gone bad, when to fire second barrel? 5/10

I had been pretty quiet and have not been at table too long. Button active player not too much of a read makes it 30 and I feel like I should take advantage of my image, I raise to 105 with ah6d from the sb, effective stacks 1k.

** Dealing Flop ** [ Jd, 5d, 6c ]
I lead 135 on flop and am just called, should I give up here? It seems as thought if he was slowplaying a big pair and is not afraid of me, i.e AA hed want to get it in now or if he has a set he'd probably raise as well figuring to get it allin vs me. Who fires a second barrel and does this change depending on the turn card, and who just gives up and why, what range do you think the average 5/10 party player can have here?

While the size of your preflop reraise is good (it's enough to make him nervous and get him to laydown crap), the size of your flop bet is too small. You need to make it close to pot-sized, so in this case $180 or so would be good. That will take down 85% of hands right there if you've got a good image.

As you've played it, after your wimpy flop bet was called, I would just check/fold. Betting $350 is the other alternative, and that's a lot of money to be bluffing away. No read, no bluff, is a good philosophy for this sort of thing.
