Should I have done something with this hand?

I almost made a move on the flop, then I looked at my stack and the stacks of the rest of the table and decided I liked where I was much better than where I would be if I didn't push him out of the hand. Right move?

I belive you made a clear mistake by checking preflop. You should move allin and expect to pickup 400 chips a large percentage of the time. It helps that you have a decent hand too.

Well, I did think about doing that. I've kind of come to think of QT as a pretty not decent hand. I'm pretty sure that either the lap before or the one twice before he raised and I came back over the top of him, which I think is what put me off of doing that.

so what you're saying is that he would make a loose call against you? that would be a shame

I push preflop.
