I actually don't mind the flop raise. There's not many cards that will hurt you after that flop. It's a rainbow, scattershot board with only one high card on it, which you have. Since he raised, there's a good chance one of his cards is an ace... if he gets an ace it helps you. If he has a pocket pair he's either ahead of you already (in which case he'll probably re-raise your raise, so the min-raise is appropriate for information-gathering) or has only two outs to move ahead of you. Really the only cards I don't want to see on the turn are four kings. I think a small raise on the flop (for information and value) and then a good-sized raise on the turn (hopefully that ace hit him, but not as much as it hit you) is a fine line.
