pretty much exactly like i'd play 89/T9, sets as well.

to the other poster, his stats were like 22/8.

Isn't raising the flop w/ a set standard?

against most preflop raisers they are drawing nearly completely dead on this board on the flop if you have a set. If he had limped he could have a straight draw, but he raised...safe to assume he's got AK/AA/KK/QQ/JJ etc. Let them draw to their 2 outs, (or no outs). Perfectly ok to give a cheap/free card. If he's going to fire big bets on all streets with an overpair he'll almost have himself all in by the river without my help. I wouldn't ALWAYS slow play a set here, but against a decent opponent, my hand is going to look an awful lot like a set on this board if I raise.
