Default $27 Extracting value with sets

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t20 (7 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

MP2 (t1380)
CO (t1420)
Button (t1480)
SB (t1480)
BB (t4160)
UTG (t2080)
Hero (t1500)

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
UTG calls t20, Hero calls t20, MP2 calls t20, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, SB completes, BB checks.

Flop: (t100) J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(5 players)</font>
SB checks, BB checks, UTG checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t80</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP2 raises to t200</font>, SB folds, BB folds, UTG folds, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t1480</font>

Too early to have any solid reads on MP2, but he seemed loose. Was my 3-bet all-in showing too much strength? I was hoping he'd think I was trying to scare him away with a flush draw by shoving, whereas if I raised smaller it'd give away the strength of my hand.

Lately I haven't been getting paid off well with my sets and it's messing up my thought process on playing these hands optimally. What's your usual plan after hitting a set on this flop and being raised? I'm thinking I should change my plan to either:

1) call the flop raise, check the turn, and shove against any bet.

2) call the flop raise, lead the turn, and shove against any raise.

I don't think my 3b-AI play was "bad", but I think in these situations I can usually extract more value by not playing it this fast.
