Exactly the way i'd have played it. Pot sized bets all the way, unless you think they will take more! And when the third club pops up on the river and villan pushes all in time to get out of dodge imho.

i try to play the set as if i had top pair if i dont like my position therefore ill bet at the pot as you did here
if my position is better then ill just call flop bets and possibly turn bets and make my move later with the aid of position
nothing wrong with this play here

it depends on your opponent and your image. If you have been seen to raise a lot on draws you should definitely play your set's teh same way. in this situation however i would definitely played the same way u did. slowplaying them is really never good, the only hands that will pay u off later beat u. u want top pair and overpairs to call u, and u want to push out the draws.
