Almost folded top set!

I knew laying down top set was the right move... how often can I say that?
it was a sick read, but I didn't make it count. Would have LOVED to be at the table with the guy when he moved in on me so I could just get that tiny little verification... and then call out his hand and let him know that I'll show if he shows and show everyone the monster monster laydown.

The situation is I limp from EP with QQs a normally unusual move, but I really felt I could have my opponents walk into a minefield on a rag flop or Jack high flop, and I was really hoping for a limp raise. But they all limp behind and the flop is Q92. I make a potsized bet, hoping someone goes over the top of what would be a large bet for me.

Everyone folds but the small blind who calls. He checks to me. The turn is a T. He checks to me. A very odd play since if he had any peice of that flop, he'd either want to block bet me, or bet to see where he was at, or overbet to chase out a draw. So I check behind.
River comes 3 or something insignificant. He goes all in. Big overbet too. My first thought was. He hit the straight. Then it was a question of his hand. KJ or J8. He was in the small blind, in unraised pot, so you could give him credit for either, but J8 was a gutshot so he probably wouldn't call pot sized bet. KJ it was. If I had more time, I think I might've been able to make the fold. Wasn't a big pot, weasn't much invested, and I still could have done just fine.
I know the turn hit him, and I couldn't see him playing a set or a pair like that...
but midway during the hand my comp froze, disconnected, recconected, and my other tables were going nuts, and the time was ticking down.
I typed in "this is just sick" into the chat box...
I hit the timebutton but only got 10 secs after the disconnect. So I said, no, I can't fold top set... then I thought. I'm beat, I can feel it... then I saw the time at like 2 seconds and I just made the call.
KJ was right. And I just felt it too the instant he went all in. I wish I could have just detached myself from how awesome of a hand top set is against a small blind with only 2 hands that can beat me.
I'm actually a little frustrated that I didn't do it, but very confident in my game right now that I can even think about doing that.
