No it was not. Fold the flop. You have horrible relative position with no hand and a very weak draw in a small pot.

Raise pre-flop: you have position (the best real estate at the table) and a strong hand. Knock out the blinds and/or make everyone pay 2 to see a flop when you have position and a strong hand.

Fold the flop if still bet into: you have an overcard and a backdoor flush draw (and a squirrely straight draw) -- your hand is worth about 3-4 outs tops, and you're getting 6:1 on the flop action.

If you raised pre-flop, you probably wouldn't have faced a flop bet and could have either checked behind or bet (I'd bet).

Don't post results as it will skew the advice.

raise pf.

As you played it, fold the flop.

I really like the turn raise with the intention to check behind on the river, as lond as MP won't be betting with less than TP.
