1/2 - is this ok readless

1st hand at the table, this is only my second time ever takin a shot at 1/2, so im hesitant to make a move for 200 and its also my first hand that Ive played at table, so I have no reads

Hero (CO)200
Villain (BB) 180

Hero dealt Ah3h

hero raises to 8, all folds, bb calls

flop Qh 4h 8s
pot 17
villain bets pot, hero calls

turn Kc
pot 51
villain bets 36, hero is all in for 175

look ok or u prefer to have a read before pulling this? His bet jsut felt like a kind of large-ish blocker

Also what do you think of my line, I usually interpret that flop bet as a draw on a 2 flushed board but Im holding the draw so I put him on TT/JJ/AQ- I felt like if I raised villain was coming with me for sure or shoving over the top

fold pre if youre inexperienced at 1/2

as played, readless this move sucks. i'd much rather raise the flop or call planning to fold a lot of turn cards, and bet if he checks to us.

didn't raise flop b/c i felt like we were gonna end up rolling the dice right there, not what I wanted on my first 5 buy in shot at 1/2. He did fold but I think i agree w you that I prob shud not have raised that turn readless, blocker just looked kinda big but felt weak

dude, if you arent comfortable getting AI on the flop in this situation, just dont even bother playing 1/2

if this was .5/1 which i am better rolled for, and the same set of events took place up to the flop, I still would not raise. What do you think he pots the flop with when I'm holding the draw? I see JJ AQ there alot.

i mean, youre readless, so posting this hand is kinda pointless anyway since its impossible to know what his donking range is.

I only like this if they try to float me here, and i raised flop and im OOP. Then i check turn and check raise the guy allin. But here he can call with alot of hands, since he shows strenght.
And if your not comfortable playing dont play, wait untill your better rolled. would have saved me some $$$
