Default 2nd Hand of an $11, Flopped a Set: How Do I Get the Most Value?

OK, this might look like I was trying to slowplay, but it's more of an "Ionno what to do." Somehow I want all my chips to go into the pot. On the flop, a pot-sized bet could scare off the action. So I check-raise, but I don't think I go enough. Then on the turn I manage to get all my money in (sloppy raises though) and I'm happy. Looks OK?

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t15 (10 handed) converter

MP3 (t800)
CO (t770)
Button (t820)
SB (t785)
BB (t800)
UTG (t800)
Hero (t800)
UTG+2 (t800)
MP1 (t825)
MP2 (t800)

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero calls t15, <font color="#666666">5 folds</font>, Button calls t15, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, BB checks.

Flop: (t52.50) J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
BB checks, Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">Button bets t55</font>, BB folds, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t110</font>, Button calls t55.

Turn: (t272.50) A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

River: (t272.50) A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

Final Pot: t272.50

Edit: converter misses this: on the turn I check hoping he hit an ace; he bets the pot, I double it, he pushes, I call.
