It is a tough one, with minimal information on the villain.
When I first read it, 66, A8 and A6 jumped straight out as definite possibilities. 88 UTG probably limps in a full ring here too (as opposed to opening). But after going over the respective lines taken, i can only see a flopped set betting like that if he has you pegged as a player to call off with just the ace.
End of the day, you're almost always in front of his range here. I don't think he's strong - if it were me in that spot I'd be thinking [9h 7h], and wondering if a shove is getting called. Probably.
But it's .5/.10, so I'm shoving, and expecting a call from an OESD and and/or flush draw.

If he has flopped a set, he either has no thought process at all post, or has enough info on Aaron to think he's playing for stacks with any ace.

Oh wait - it's .5/.10 on Stars. Of course there's no thought process
A set it is, then!

Re: From tonights session, TPTK facing action
frequently in .5/.10 i see people flop a set and do one of two things. the first is that they min bet on turn/river, or the second thing they do is to shove. expecially with a flush draw out there, they dont want "chasers"
my bet is a set
my bet is a set

Yeah I'm not saying a set is out of the question. I just see weaker hands rolling in this spot much more frequently than the few that are beating me.
