Although it turns out you made the correct play this time I think you're losing money in the long run.

When you are the raiser pf you should almost always follow up your raise with a bet on the flop. By not doing so you allow hands like QJ, A 10, XsXs, etc. a free chance to beat you. Two pair on that board is still a strong hand. I would suggest making a 2/3-3/4 bet on the flop and if you get raised then reevaluate your hand.

You can't be afraid to bet just because you don't have the nuts, if that happens then you will be really predictable and people will fold to every bet you make.

Also, you didn't say what position you were in or what stage of the tournament it was.

Glad it worked out for you this time but I would deffinetly reevaluate the play if I were you.
