i would usually just push the flop cause i hate having to play the turn there

My thinking was that his line looks so set like that my equity might not be good enough to get it in on the flop.

Given the absence of reads I think you played it just fine. Its tempting to reraise flop but you were probably wise to throw caution to the wind IMO

Wait a minuite! If someone "throws caution to the wind" does it not mean that they are the opposite of cautious?

If he calls you he has a set alright .
But we dont want that.
Sometimes he might have the NFD himself (or a worse draw)

So what are you saying, push or call?

I also push the flop, it's what I'd do with a set and big draws, and I'd certainly class TP and 3rd nut flush draw as a great draw.

Flop is ridiculously easy push. Turn and river are going to be way too hard to play oop otherwise.

usually when i lead at this flop its to bet/3bet but villians line really looks like a set.i think you played it fine.
