Critique my hand ... EPT satelite Dublin

[Instinct]

$80 tourny. 9 players left. Top 4 win $300 seat to ept satellite. Blinds 75-150
I have 2000 in chips. Ave stack about 5500.
Comes to me in mp, QQ, I raise 600. Sb ( 5500 chips ) BB ( 7000 chips ) both call. The BB has been cold calling quite a few hands and playing alot of pots.

Flop Kc 9c 2d
Sb checks, BB bets 600, I call, sb folds,
Turn 6h BB bets 800, I call again

He shows K10 to take the pot and I'm out 9th

How badly did I play this hand?

[The4thFilm]

really bad. just go all in preflop and crap like K10 won't call.

don't get it..you say 9 left (4 to the seat) and yer out 35th...

but if there are only 5 left...yah...all in with QQ - double up and get some chips to do battle or get out.

I was out in 9th, just edited.

I felt afterwards that I definately should have gone all in with this hand. I'm not letting it go to a RR and going all in could get smaller pairs to call me. If AK is out there they are playing anyway and getting knoocked by K10 shows how bad my 600 raise was.

Now, having not gone all in ... should I have let go of my Queen's to the bet on flop leaving me 1400 in chips?

[Instinct]

As soon as I was called by both blinds, I realized how bad not going all in was.
My ( bad ) thoughts as I raised was that I was making a bigger raise than usual on table 4x BB and was hoping to either steal blinds or have someone come back at me witha weaker hand.

there is a rule (forget where) that says if you're going to commit a third of chips, consider them all committed -

logic being in most cases you're only a 3-1 underdog anyways -

having dumped a third of my chips in there, I suppose I would finish it...but 1400 is still almost 9 BB's - guess it would depend on how short the other stacks were.

but THEN, by god...all in everytime preflop.

I think I couldn't have gotten away from this after the flop, which is why I try as hard as possible to not have to make that decision by going all in.
