I like how you played it, but I wouldn't say the flop is really a raise-or-fold situation. There's really nothing wrong with calling a bet here, getting 10.5:1 odds, and folding if you don't improve. That being said, the potential flush draw and straight draw that the flop offers would make me more likely to raise here, and from there on I think betting the turn and taking the free showdown is the way to go.
