I do realize it was dumb, if for no other reason than it forced CO to fold.

In a desperate attempt to rationalize my stupidity, I must note that if CO had a garden-variety straight and/or flush draw and he decided to release instead of calling two cold against a possible full house, then I did buy his outs.

Not that that mattered a whole lot, though. By my count, the most outs I could have bought is six (if he had A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]/K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], there's only three diamonds left that give him the nuts and three jacks to give him a straight). And obviously, the chances of him having just such a hand and folding it anyway are anorexic.
