How on earth can limping a suited gapper first in in the CO be better than raising?

It depends upon your motivations. Raising with suited one gappers, your motivations were to 1) Steal the Blinds, and barring that, 2) hit a str8 and/or flush draw. Good strategy, either you take it down preflop or get a decent draw. In this case, you failed to get away postflop with TPPK.
Now, my motivations limping with one gappers are: 1) Information. I am the first to act, and I can get at least some sort of info (SB minraises, etc), and have a chance to fold cards that could be at best behind, and at worst dominated. 2) It's a drawing hand, and I want more people in the pot when I'm drawing so that someone will be left when I hit. I'm a little fuzzy on number 2, anyone care to elaborate?
That's how I see suited one gappers. Caveat: I understand your play and might even take the same line; I'm just being critical here for discussion purposes. Good Luck.
