I gotta play from behind more

After getting it all in with the best of it all night and getting outdrawn by the small stacks, I figured this was a good chance to double up. The villian had been big every third hand, so I was waiting for an opportunity to pick him off. I had been playing very tight and had only show down monster hands, so what does this guy think I'd push with, A9 suited?

b]Stack sizes:[/b]
UTG: t11345
UTG+1: t8929
MP1: t1344
MP2: t2973
Hero: t4642
CO: t1957
Button: t2160
SB: t5290
BB: t2342

Pre-flop: (9 players) Hero is MP3 with :K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] :
UTG folds, UTG+1 raises to t1600, 2 folds, Hero raises all-in t4617, 4 folds, UTG+1 calls t3017.

Flop: J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (t9759, 1 player + 1 all-in - Main pot: t9759)

Turn: 2 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (t9759, 1 player + 1 all-in - Main pot: t9759)

River: Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (t9759, 1 player + 1 all-in - Main pot: t9759)

Results:
 Villian shows 5 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]5 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] for 3 of a kind 5's
Hero shows :K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] for a pair of K's 
Final pot: t9759

The only other big pots I lost were to AJ when I had pocket 9's, and with AK to AQ. Flop came xQK it all went in and a Q fell on the river.

Once again, no good play goes unpunished.

I checked in on the tournament I saw that the villian from this hand was in 3rd place.

3 hands later, he was out in 29th place.

I checked in on this post when it was originally posted. One post later, I realized I still didnt care.
