Just because you put almost half your stack in is NOT a reason to feel you should have called here.

Strictly speaking, I agree.

Villian's stats CLEARLY indicate you are buried here - he is not taking this line with QQ
However, stack sizes are a consideration on whether or not to raise the flop - I dont want to take a raise/fold to reraise line with half my stack. Thus, I'd just call the flop...I am also releasing this on the turn to any significant pressure

This is what I'm really getting at. I should NOT raise to $40 unless I'm willing to go all the way with this. I probably salvaged my stack, but at the cost of almost half of it.
Based on his stats, the real mistake is the preflop call.
