Default Venetian 5-10 Set Vs ?

Venetian 5-10
I just sat down: no read on villain
Effective stacks: $1700

Villain limps in middle position
I'm just on his left
I limp with 33
2 other limpers

Flop: ($40) Td6s3d
Villain bets 40
I raise to 100 with bottom set
Villain reraises to 300
I figure he's got a big hand (hopefully not a set, but if he does, I'm willing to go broke here) and reraise to 800

If the flop had been rainbow, I would have just called his reraise, but I was afraid that if a third diamond came on the turn, that it would kill the action. I wanted to essentially get us pot-committed before that happened. Also, if a diamond comes on the turn, I'm not sure it would be a good idea for me to bet, because there is a remote possibility that he would have a flush. So I just wanted to get the money in there before that happened.

Please critique my reasoning.

I think your original raise should be to 140, but yeah, nice hand.

Most evenings and weekend days. Occasionally days during the week.

I've been in Vegas this week and it's been going regularly. It's been a pretty good game.

that's cool, I'd prefer that over Bellagio or Wynn, so I'll see if I can't do my part to make the game a bit tougher =p

Raise more on flop. Otherwise, pretty good.
