Nope, you played this perfectly. Especially for an $11 table.

sometimes that happens - not much that can be done - even if you didn't get your money in pre-flop, it was going in post flop.

When you have QQ in a $11, you are praying to the poker gods that all of the money is going in preflop.

Unless you are psychic, the correct play is to move all-in here every time.

With <8BB I push this everytime, and usually do a little dance that someone raised before me.

Tough outcome. Play this hand that way 500 times and you'll be just fine.

How can you do anything other than push in that spot?

You have one of the best pf hands you can hope to have. Your M is barely over 5. If you don't push now, when do you push?
