Default Flopped top set - played too hard?

I think a lot of us find ourselves playing our sets a little too slow and allowing opponents to catchup. I told myself I would not allow it to happen this time. Did I play this too strong? Thoughts on flop/turn would be appreciate.

Thanks,
-Ace

Looks good to me on this extremely draw heavy board.

I think you played it fine given that draw-heavy board.

I do think that in CO with one limper you need to raise this PF.

Mandatory flop raise, might even want it bigger.

Turn bet can be a bit weaker since you're &gt; 75% to win against all but an oesfd.

Would you rather have lost the pot to a draw? Postflop, played fine.

This looks fine to me as well, with that draw heavy board I think your line looks good.
