I didn't feel great about this one, but I was at a bit of a loss here. Does anyone have any thoughts?

Being OOP and 2 in the pot I like a slightly larger then PSR to about $5 may be even more if villain are loose..I check the flop and re-eval..I donot fear FDs as much in RR pot..A bet will most often only be called by a better hand(and the unlikely FD)..You will extract more value when ahead by checking and lose the same when your are behind..

Raise more preflop, like $6-8.
