Looks fine to me....

That flop sucks. Too bad.

Save yourself a bet and fold to his raise on the flop. You raised preflop and he is raising you on a scary board. He doesn't seem too scared of your hand, so I'd save a SB and fold this one since you have such a small chance of improving.

I think if you were planning to fold UI on the turn, you should let this go on the flop. You don't have the odds to hit a set. If you are worried about having people take shots at you because you seem too weak, just switch tables.
