Anyone getting away from this?

I raised the flop for two reasons.

1: To try to get get heads up against a weaker hand with some more money in the pot.
2: Because I'm learning still and trying things. HEM leak buster says one of my leaks is not 3betting enough so I'm trying to find spots to do that more often. I'm guessing you don't think this was a good spot to do so. If you care to explain why that would be helpful.

Yes results oriented.

I guess I should have simply asked how I could have played the hand differently.

Thanks for your enlightening thoughts.
