reraise flop to define your hand, protect from FD, build pot.

What exactly does building a pot OOP do if at the same time I am defining my hand in such a way that villian could exploit it?

raise the flop, you ahve trips not a set. You get called by overcards and flush draws on the flop.
I would call his river reraise, if you shove what will he be calling with that you beat?

The concensus seems to be raise the flop bet but I still think my flop call is fine. Other than my hand there isn't much that hits this flop hard that I can't beat other than 22 and A-J 9. If villian has either of these, no matter what I am going to lose some money on this hand if I don't improve so I don't think a flop like his is an inopportune time to slowplay. The river raise is a defining moment I agree. Up until this point I thought I was applying Concept #6 in NLHET&P fairly well but occasionally I invert a concept and acheive the opposite result.

Do you understand what your turn bet says here?

Not to you so perhaps you could explain.
