For what it's worth you are not going to consistently do well at 2/5 making plays like that against those types of opponents behind you. This is only acceptable if all three players behind the CO are either absolute donkeys or extremely tight and passive. I don't know how deep you would have to be for this to even be considered a value raise but slightly over 100bb is not it. Fold that junk pre man.
That is fair, I shouldn't let boredom get the best of me. I do think, though, that occasionally winning a big pot after raising pre flop with a hand like J7o will get you better action when you fall back to standard tight preflop play. However, it's not the best hand to do this with, since even in this case villain could put me on KJ, so its strength isn't all that disguised, and making a straight not only loses to but looks like QJ when I show strength.
