He did the initial raise so QQ is possible, but so are a bunch of other hands including AQ. He may be checking to see if you are drawing to a straight. I would reraise - if he pushes then you have a hard decision to make.

Why would he let me draw for free?

The pot before reraising is $2.57 and he has $3.20 left. If I reraise, I may as well push.

I wrote that wrong - I meant he's testing to see if you are possibly on a straight draw.

The only hand you are beaten by is QQ at this point (of course 5/8 and 3/5 but those are ridiculously unlikely). I'd push and if he has it then I pay him off. More than likely you take down AQ.

If you make a habit out of striving for pot control and not looking for the fastest route to get all the money in the pot with sets at 5nl, then I'm sure you are missing out on alot of value.
First off we can't fold here. The only hands that beat us is 35,58,QQ. Only QQ even has a chance of playing that hand in this manner, as 35,58 don't generally raise over a limper preflop. So the only hand we lose too is QQ and there is only 3 combos of QQ. However, that isn't all that is in his range. AQ,KQ,QJ,AA,KK,66,44 etc are all possible holdings. And you beat all of those. So a fold is not happening.
So it's either a call or raise. Well looking at the board you definately do not want to just call as there is 2 potential flush draws on the board, and a strong straight draw. Also he has already said he likes his hand by raising your turn bet, so go ahead and get it in.

I put him all-in
anyways, if he's loose then there's a possibilty he's got 35, I really doubt he has QQ, AQ much more likely, if he got QQ then it's a cooler

Push and expect him to have pocket fours, pocket sixes, pocket queens, a straight draw, air, or a flush draw. Hope that he has one of the former two.
