Flopped strong on a wet board

I am always uneasy and fearful in these situations, expecting to be out drawn, I expect this to then affect how I play the hand. My main question is regarding the flop play. Would a re re shove all in be the best play here (even though it would have cost me more in this particular hand), given that i had called the raise, what do you do out of position when the scare card hits 4th street? I am ok with my play on the river because I realised I was now crushed by my opponents range, but am I kidding myself and should have called anyway?

    I think shoving is the most profitable play in the long run you with a player showing aggression and your only worried about kq i think getting it in here is fine. Turn is yuk i think i c/f or c/c a small bet there have to fold river ul

    Played fine IMO.

    I would say raising that flop is probably the best option to get it all in, over time I think that would be most profitable as so many hands you are crushing are calling. As played on the turn did you read his bet as weakness and put him on the set? Or playing a hand with a queen in it like a goat? FWIW i'm raising that turn as I would percieve it as weak, as I think he checks or bets alot more with a queen there due to being able to be outdrawn by sets and flushes.
