I'm wondering if I was correct in folding here.

Heads up and I have a big chip lead. I raised, hoping he'd shove and then I'd call. But he just called.

I totally missed the flop and when he shoved, I folded. Was that the right move? My thinking is that I was way behind anything that he could have (except for a bluff), so why put in any more chips? Is this a no-brainer given how it played out (I would have happily called his shove preflop)?

Not shoving pre is a huge error. As played just snapping him off.

Edit: Probs not a huge error tbh, it's stupid not shoving though.
