I like the raise PF with QJ in late posistion, I don't even mind calling his min raise since you are already invested in the pot. However, you need to be thinking about folding this hand on the flop unless you hit it a lot harder than you did. Him showing one bluff early on doesn't give me enough information to to warrant labeling him a bluffer. Several bluffs from him would however. Most players have the ability to throw out once bluff in their lifetime. 
 
Facing a raise from the blind has to tell you that he has some serious strength, regardless of you hitting top pair, you need to fold this and find a better spot to get all of your chips in. Even against a random hand PF you are only a 60 40 fave. 
 
Post flop, you are behind a number of hands. AA, KK, QQ, AQ, KQ, 77, 22. you can reasonably forget about the 22 since he'd be a complete agro monkey to raise in the blinds with 22 and 77 would probably only warrant a call from the blind rather than a 3bet, however the rest are all in his range and all likely considering his posistion and post flop shove.
 
As hard as it is to laydown Top pair with a fairly decent kicker, you need to be able to let hands like this go from time to time. Folding can be used as a weapon, learn how to use it and make him think that you will fold to any aggression and use that in a later hand when you are much stronger and trap him for all his chips.
 
If you are not folding hands like this, in spots like this, you are not playing the game right. 
 
On a side note, leave out the results in the future so our answers and not bias.
