looks to me like you raised near MP, got called OOP, then flopped a set. You can do that with a 7-2. Suited connectors are profitable from the hidden straights and combination draws they offer. It's a nice pot, and maybe thats why you posted it, but most times even the most medoicre players would lay that down againts the line you took.

This is why i love sites where players dont repop their big hands preflop and where they also play thier hands with robotic lines

eg. stars and full tilt.

if you are constantly raising hands like that preflop from poor position then you had better be pretty good at post-flop play and not spewing when ppl put in a pretty decent 3bet preflop.

EDIT: also, i don't really get the feeling that you really want advice/feedback on this hand. go brag elsewhere

the idea is to oopen here sometimes with these cards so our range isnt predictable. IMplied odds rule if you turn over two cards you shouldnt have opening here sometimes but not always.

lol, you didn't play this hand optimally

CR bigger on turn, shove river

and it fits in nicely with defending against floaters

nice pot though sir
