Getting set value - NL noob playing NL100

[FullyTilted]

Brand new at table, so no reads at all - brand new at this infinite-limit stuff, too, and looking for basic feedback on extracting value when the jackpot hits.

Preflop is straightforward, I'm pretty sure. It's the flop - on such a coordinated board I did not want it checked around. However, I figured that the pf raiser would likely bet and I could get more money in with a check/raise.

Pretty basic stuff for you folks, but as said I'm an NL neophyte so feedback on the approach and bet sizing is greatly appreciated.

you should post this in the full ring forum, but this looks fine. reload pf so you can double up for a full buyin.
