I really like how you played this until you folded the turn.

Preflop is fine.

Flop raise looks good.

Fold on the turn looks OK with UTG+2 still to act. This looks like A8/2-Pair/Set or an overpair by someone who doesn't ever raise preflop.

actually i dont mind folding there. raising might be ok too

I don't like my hand here but...this is a nice pot, too. I'm not sure why a stop-n-go with a T on the turn should scare us that much.

yea, folds fine with me
especially with no reads given
too many people out there playing ace-rag

Why did we raise the flop then?

I think the line was just fine. You raise the flop because you have top pair, backdoor flush draw, and backdoor straight draw. With MP pulling a stop and go and someone to act behind us and not picking up one of our backdoor draws, I think a turn fold is in order.
