Default QQ -- I don\'t know what to think of my set

Villain is 28/19/2.3 after 240 hands, but he seemed more LAG to me at the time than his numbers indicate. I wasn't entirely sure how to interpret his play, though, since he was involved in numerous encounters with a 71/32/1.5 guy to his right. Actually, for context, here's one of those encounters. (It might not have been as tame if I hadn't been involved, though.):

Preflop: Hero is BB with T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, MP1 calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP3 raises</font>, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, Hero calls, MP1 calls.

Flop: (6.40 SB) J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">MP1 bets</font>, MP3 calls, Hero calls.

<font color="#0000FF">I planned to checkraise, but then MP1 interfered.</font>

Turn: (4.70 BB) 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">MP1 bets</font>, MP3 calls, Hero calls.

<font color="#0000FF">I thought I was losing to MP1 but wasn't sure.</font>

River: (7.70 BB) 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">MP1 bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP3 raises</font>, Hero folds, MP1 calls.

<font color="#0000FF">MP3's raise made my river decision easy, at least.</font>

Final Pot: 11.70 BB

Results:
MP1 has Jc 7s (one pair, jacks).
MP3 has As 2h (high card, ace).
Outcome: MP1 wins 11.70 BB. </font>

Not exactly my proudest moment.

Anyway, I had the misfortune of being card dead in my BB, so I folded to a lot of (what seemed to be) Villain's auto-steals when the action was folded to him in MP3.

During our previous encounter, though, he raised with Q8, I defended with Q8s, and we capped the flop together when we both flopped top pair with our 8's, after which Villain called me down on the turn and river. That seemed fairly standard.

All right. On to the main hand:

Preflop: Hero is MP3 with Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#CC3333">UTG raises</font>, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero 3-bets</font>, <font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, UTG calls.

Flop: (7.40 SB) T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">UTG bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="#CC3333">UTG 3-bets</font>, Hero calls.

<font color="#0000FF">I generally cap here, but this time I decided to wait and pop the turn.</font>

Turn: (6.70 BB) 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">UTG bets . . .</font>

This card made me hesitate. What should be my plan now?
