I have no idea what buyin this is due to this strategy
It's either a $15+1, $25+2, or $55+5

I don't have much time to type much thought right now but is this generally a good line?

Not how I would have played it, but it looks good.

Am I too weak-tight for just wanting to open-limp this (if I'm going to play it at all)? The blinds aren't worth stealing here, and even a decent flop like this one can present problems.

the reason i like raising is at least it gives you some idea of your opponents hand. if you simply limp you have absolutely no clue what the opponent (big blind) has. he could have some raggedy 2-pair. also at this point, raising 3x the BB, even if i get re-raised it's not very hard or hurtful to my stack to lay it down

i probably make a blocking bet on this river, something like 250-300, other than that, looks groovy.
