Default BlackJack opinion..lost a big bet - did I make the right play?

I was playing 2 spots - the 2nd to last position and the anchor. The seats were filled.

2nd to last spot - $25 bet - 10/2
anchor - $1,500 - A/3

Dealer - showing a 3.

Initially, I was going to stay with my 12, but there were like four 10's dealt before me, so I figured I could eat a few low cards on my bets, so dealer can bust. So I hit on my my 12, I got a 6. Stayed...

Now the question of my big bet. I decided to double down, because I didn't want to overthink and ponder at what to do, so I doubled and I got a 10. Great I got a 14. Now I have to earn this one...

Dealer ended up showing a 13 like I expected and got a 7 and took my money. The whole time, if I didn't double, I would've taken another card and I would've gotten a 21 and saved the table. Of course I made the right play by the book, but I should've trusted my gut and played the shoe. Oh well, you win some and you lose some big ones [You must be logged in to view images.
