Flopped set with monotone board

I feel I have trouble playing these hands. Did I do anything wrong?

That looks great to me. I played a hand almost the exact same way yesterday and took down a nice sized pot.

Well played. The turn raise is a tough one to make with a scary board but clearly the right decision, IMO. In this case it is possible that it won the pot for you (if BB folded a diamond).

The river call I think is fairly easy to make heads-up. I think it becomes a tough decision to make with one or two opponents left to act and a decent sized, but not huge pot.

I think you played the hand fine. I wouldn't put UTG+1 on the flush, but when the 4th card falls I think it's fine to not go crazy.

UTG+1's turn bet is weird. I've see this a lot, where people think they're cute and slowplay TP iffy kicker.

I adore playing against people who try to "make plays". Usually it means that they'll throw some bets at you when you've got them destroyed.
