NL 50 fast, strong set in 3bet pot, but will my opponent pay off?

Blinds: $0.25/$0.50 (6 Players) BN: $59.65
SB: $67.68 (Hero)
BB: $129.94
UTG: $50.00
MP: $69.45
CO: $61.82
Preflop ($0.75) Hero is SB with 8 8
3 folds, BN raises to $1.00, Hero raises to $4.00, BB folds, BN calls $3.00
56 steal, 58 fold versus.
Flop ($8.50) K 7 8
Hero bets $5.00, BN calls $5.00
Bord is dry, but hand is strong enough, and opponent is likely to call most pairs and draws here.
Turn ($18.50) K 7 8 J
Hero bets $11.66, BN calls $11.66
Things get interesting. There are enough hands in his range which are top pairs or pair + draws, but I lose now to 4 combos of T9s, and also this card is good for my percieved range, so opponent will rarely put me on bluff If I bet big. I decided to bet 2/3 of the pot. Is it OK?
River ($41.82) K 7 8 J 7
Hero bets $47.02 and is all in, BN folds
39$ left.

I have effective nuts. But now looking back, I think half pot bet might be better here, because of how scary jam looks on this river.
Final Pot SB wins $39.94
Rake is $1.88

What do you think about flop and turn play? Would you play differently?
