looks good, you were shortstacked in the small blind and stood to win about 5000 chips if he folded, and at most a 40% underdog if he wasnt holding one of your cards with a higher kicker (which he did have) or a pocket pair. It was just unlucky that he was holding AQ at the time.

the more i thought about it though, I did have another orbit to go until i hit a better hand then QTo and the pot would have been about the same size. I also didnt bother to look at who i was trying to go all in agianst, yes he had to have a decent hand, but it only had to be slightly better then marginal since he had a 3-1 chip lead over me, this is a good lesson in trying to blind steal, PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR OPPONENTS LIKELY-HOOD OF CALLING YOUR BET.
