Looks ok. Sometimes you can call turn and fold to a large river bet but I think this is fine. And no don't raise the flop

really @ folding?

I think we're actually good here quite a bit.

I can see calling, and folding to a large river bet though.

I usually fold preflop when I have no reads. I like to open up after I see a few hands.

As played, it looks fine if you fold the turn.

Why is raising flop not a good idea?
