Default KK did I make the right move?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t150 (9 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

UTG (t4025)
UTG+1 (t1160)
MP1 (t3555)
MP2 (t3855)
MP3 (t3640)
CO (t5795)
Button (t950)
SB (t3080)
Hero (t1870)

Preflop: Hero is BB with K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, MP1 calls t150, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, CO calls t150, Button calls t150, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t750</font>, MP1 calls t600, CO folds, Button folds.

Flop: (t1875) 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t1120 (All-In)</font>, MP1 calls t1120.

Turn: (t4115) Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font>

River: (t4115) 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font>

Final Pot: t4115

Results in white below: <font color="#FFFFFF">
Hero has Kc Kh (two pair, kings and sevens).
MP1 has Tc 9c (straight, queen high).
Outcome: MP1 wins t4115. </font>


Should I have played this differently? Only thing I can think of is shoving preflop but I dont really want to run them off. Flop hit me perfectly I thought. Was this guy just a huge donkey and got extremely lucky or did I misplay this?

You are up against an idiot. Bad luck. You are so low in chips, you should just shove pre-flop.

Definately shoving preflop. Limpers+blinds increases your stack by 50%. MP1 is still terrible.

Unlucky. A shove would be more typical I think, but I understand why you bet less (rope them in). The drawback of trying to draw them in preflop is sometimes you get out-flopped, as here. I would certainly push the flop as you did.

glad to know you guys agree. Things like this put me on mega tilt and make me not even want to play in these freaking things.

There is 675 in the pot when the action gets to you preflop and you have 12bb's. You can shove here and add 40% or so to your stack with very little conflict. If you are called well thats even better. Any reasonable raise say 3x+ 1 for every limper=900, in this case committs you anyway and then any caller will have the odds to draw for just about anything against your flop shove.

As played I shove flop you are ahead of villians range, to bad on the outcome. Also don't post results it taints readers opinions.

maybe could fit in there but I'm not trying to show off the bad beat only, I want to know if I played it incorrectly. Hence the posting in the MTT
