This was a live tournament. 250$ KO 90 players.

Final table, I am right behind chip leader.

I am dealt KK. and im UTG and I raise 25% of my stack preflop. One caller, who is the SB and chip leader.

Flop: Q Q 5; I play myself all-in even though I am utg. they call and show 77.

Turn: 7

River: 9

Im not so sure what to think about my play there..

He caught a 2 outer FTW. You were about 90+% (after the flop when you went all in and before the turn) favorite to win. He got lucky. Live play is sooo Riggat!
Tough one. At least you got your money in good. Bad call turned good by the villian. The Poker Gods can be soo cruel at times.

if he hadn't sucked out, would you be unsure of your play?

both of you have good points. I just feel like I made a bad play because I was out of position on the hand I chose to tackle. not to mention going from second high stack to the rail. ty for input

The second best hand preflop is still the second best hand regardless of position.
