I don't know how to put the cards up w/ picture so sorry!  I'm playing $26 FTP 32k guarantee.  I'm in sb with (Qh2h) with $2600 with blinds at $120/$240!  Action folds to me.  Should I ship, call, fold, or raise?!  I think a raise (2xor3x) is not the play???  Folding don't seem right either?  The BB had me covered!  Thanks for ur input!

 Either ship, or raise to around $1000, make your hand look stronger than it is.

I ended up shipping, he tanked and called with (33)!  He hit his set and I missed anywho.  Just a hard hand to play in that situation.  Can't just fold it with a random hand in the BB, but he knows I'm shipping light there. 

Here's ya a new question, let's say I raise to $1000 and he flats.  I miss the flop completely, do u check or ship no matter?

I shove any flop if that happens.

Hmmm...I actually like my hands to be a bit better (problem is your weak kicker - you're basically playing a lone q), but shoving is not the worst.

The only thing to consider is if the BB has been a nit, shove is fine. If the BB has been fairly active, maybe fold and wait for a better spot / hand.
