Neither do I, but what do you like the least? The flop raise, the flop call, or the turn fold?

The flop raise seems odd since there's very little chance you'll push MP out if the flop hit his hand. The flop call is mandatory given the large pot, and I don't have much objection to check-folding the turn unimproved. It's highly unlikely that you're ahead, and even if you improve, you won't have enough confidence in your hand to push it hard.
