A few things I noticed:
- You didn't throw one bluff out there unless it was a continuation bet from your PF raise. You're playing against a pretty standard TAG (he's pretty good actually), and about 1/3 of the way into the tourney he realizes he can pick up any pot when you completely miss, hence min bets on flops like KQQ. As the BB, you have an advantage when the texture of the flop is scary. You have to be willing to try and buy these pots, and even if you lose that bet, you're setting yourself up to get called when you do hit. As it stands now, he can tell when you have a hand and you will never get paid off unless he has a big hand too.

- You were pretty card dead in this tourney, and being selectively aggressive can sometimes win you these things when you're not catching hands. With the way you play, you're going to need cards to win. You will not be able to run over your opponents, like he did to you.

- Good fold on the KJs. Too many people make the mistake of pushing here. The best you can hope for is to be slightly behind (To a smaller pocketpair), and you still have enough chips to be dangerous if you double up. I'd rather push with a hand like 9Ts because there's a better chance both cards are live. An AK, AJ, KK or JJ (all hands he would've pushed with) have you in a world of trouble.

- Raising with 89o when your shortstacked is awful. You don't have enough chips to play the game of raising preflop with junk and hoping you hit the flop. Even worse, you checked a very scary looking flop after raising preflop. You should probably bet every flop containing an ace when you raise preflop in any situation. Middle and bottom pairs will usually fold.
