Hopefully this isn't another "standard" hand. MP2 got his stack by getting KK in vs 77 preflop.

I like a call here

I play almost everything fast although I agree that in this particular case a slowplay is quite warranted. However as I post over and over, I almost never slowplay, especially out of position.

This isn't a good CR. If you want to play it fast, you should bet it, but a CR on this board is a good way to make stuff fold that you don't want to fold. The only hands that go further after this are mostly tens that would get it all in, anyway.

I mean, I bet (some hand), you, a good player whose nick I probably recognize, minCR* at a 200...am I really calling with a QJ knowing you control the betting from this point out? Nah.

*I consider all of these types of bazillion to one odds to draw hands to be minCR's and proceed appropriately.

btw the opponent was not a good player if I recall. Although thats my default assumption when anyone has doubled up early. Although there is no way I would expect a jack to fold or any kind of straight draw.

You weren't the opponent adanthar, and if you were I would have attempted to play the hand in a manner to help you give away some chips. Most of the time it's just not going to happen though.

also note that I do checkraise with nothing sometimes. Hands have been posted in which I've done so. It wouldn't be good if I never checkraised with huge hands. Despite all of this I did regret the way I played it at the time.
