Default A-J vs. 3-bet

No reads yet on villain. Happened about 10 hands into the session. He has been pretty active raising frequently within those hands, however.

Full Tilt Poker
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $0.05/$0.10
6 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: $13.85
Hero: $9.70
CO: $14.75
Button: $10.05
SB: $0
BB: $22.70

Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is UTG+1 with :jc :ah
UTG folds, [color=#cc0000]Hero raises to $0.35</font>, [color=#cc0000]CO raises to $1.2</font>, 2 folds, Hero folds.
Uncalled bets: $0.85 returned to CO.

Flop: : : : ($0.85, 2 players)


Results:
Final pot: $0.85

This might be a pretty easy problem for some, but I don't like playing this hand out of position pre-flop. Should I have just called the bet and taken a flop and re-evaluated after the flop? What if I flop an Ace here?

I don't have a problem with this. If you call the raise you've put in over 10% of the effective stack size and you're out of position. There will be ~$2.50 in the pot on the flop and any reasonable bet or call will leave you pot committed. Not such a great spot when you might be dominated.

P.S. - the hand converter didn't work
