Your fold seems reasonable. In this situation tho i'm not sure I would have laid down the queen. I think, based on his betting, he had you down as bluffing. You are sitting in the favorite steal seat. His final bet suggest to me that he wanted you to fold. In this situation I generally try to do exactly the opposite of what my opponent wants me to do. If he had put in a small bet I would have been suspicious and folded. I don't flame anyone for the choice you made. I will say this. It was early. Blinds were small. You could have handled the loss and come back. Trouble is I suspect you would have won this one.
