I'll be honest...I hate the whole hand. Maybe I can see some rationale for the flop raise if you perceive CO as weak, but otherwise it's just ugly.

Edit: I'll add an explanation because otherwise my post isn't very helpful. Preflop you have a suited 2 gapper. Problem is you're out of position, so extracting money could be difficult. In position I wouldn't mind as much. On the flop, I already mentioned I think your play has some merit since CO seems weak, but your raise needs to be bigger - show some strength. This will give you a better idea on how to approach the turn. If he calls a large flop bet it's probably time to shut it down.

Yeah i felt sick after the hand, i think i played it realy bad. Just wanted to have it confirmed. Is it ok to sometimes RR this preflop?
