Definately bet the flop, dont really wanna be slow playing a set on that board. You probably get raised by the flush, the size of the raise wud determine wether or not to draw to a full house. Set might still be good so if I get raised I move all in especially if its early days in the tourny as no real harm done.
Having checked the flop and turning a FH, there isnt alot u can do. Raise bigger on the turn, not to neccesserily protect the hand, but to start getting some chips in the middle.
The re raise all in on the river is fair enough, Id make the same move again especially early on in a tourny.
When I flop a set on a board with 3 of the same suit, I bet the hand as though I have the ace of that suit, or top 2 pair. This builds the pot and protects your hand at the same time, as well as disguising it.
Hard lines really, sik deal!

Just to explain the point about early on in the tourny.....
If its a tourny within my bankroll and not some 'special event; or 'big tourny' that ive sattellited into, then losing the buy in isnt a huge deal. If I was the only player in the field to be offered a double starting stack for double the buy in, i'd take it everyime. So if i double up here 50% of the time and get eliminated 50% of the time, I'm a happy chappy. (In the first half hour of the tourny)
