Default Bellagio LIVE 10/20 NL AQ hand

I played this hand at the Bellagio and was wondering whether I made the right play.
I had only played about 20 hands so far and most of the players seemed pretty solid. Allen Cunningham was to my left and Bill Gazes was on the opposite corner, so it wasn't such an easy game. Anyways on to the hand...
I have a $4,000 stack and the game is 10/20 NL
I was in the BB with A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
UTG2 an old man who I haven't seen play many hands raises to 120(the standard raise so far as I have seen)
MP1 calls right behind him and he's been at the table, but I hadn't really payed attention to him.
Gazes calls as well as a late limper.
SB folds.
I called.
there is 610 in the pot right now.
The flop comes Q [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 6 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 2 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
I checked (comments?)
The old man bets out 600. with about the same stack as I have.
MP1 calls with about 2800 behind.
Gazes folds as does the late limper.
So it was onto me and my thought process was basically that the Old man probably had something like KK. I didn't think he could have had QQ since I had a Q and he probably didn't have 66 or 22 raising from early position in this full ring game. He could have had AA, but I had an A so I thought that was unlikely. He could have flopped a flush, but he would have had to raise KJc or KTc in early position, which I thought was possible but unlikely. He could definitely have had KQ with the King of clubs also. So that was my range. MP1 I thought could have had something like QK with the King of clubs or QJ with the Jack of clubs. I thought he would reraise a set or a flopped flush in that spot being that the pot was a decent size. I decided that a checkraise all in could get someone to fold maybe even a set, although that hand was unlikely. I don't know if KK with the King of clubs could call either being that I could have flopped a flush or have a set. AA probably can't call either with a checkraise of 3300 or so on top Even if I did get called I had outs to the nutflush and an over to KK. Also, I had not played a hand since I sat down so my table image was pretty tight. I decided to checkraise all in.
Comments?
I will provide the results later.
PS this is my first post in 2+2 so I'd appreciate your support haha
