BB had K9, MP2 had 77

1) This belongs in the SnG section, this one is for cash games.

2) Make a real raise. If you had raised it more like 4x or 5x BB, MP2 might have folded, then you wouldn't have thrown this away.

3) Stack off here. This is probably the best flop you could have hoped for without a ten on board.

Instant all-in the BB is committed, the guy in MP is already all-in unless your up against JT you got outs and is a favourite against A9 or K9. The best part of all of this is even if you lose the pot, you'd still have an M of like 20 and a great shot at clinching the big stack position at your table; an always coveted position.

I normally hate to be overly-critical, but every play you made is worse than the last.

Min-raising preflop is a sin with this hand. There's no way you're winning the hand right here, there's a good chance there will be scare cards on the flop, and you're encouraging multiple players to enter the pot.

On the flop, how in the world can you fold with an overpair and draws to boot? Especially with your stack size and this level, there is no reason to fold here.
