Live tournament, have not seen a good hand in a while, blinds are 150 and 300, I have about 2000 chips, I'm in late position with KQ of clubs, everyone folded to me, I make it 900, the small blind calls. The flop comes 9 high with tow clubs, the small blind checks, what sould I do? Chec to see a free card? bet? or push? note that I already invested half of my chips in the pot. The SB has a little more chips than me.

Why did you only raise to 900? When you have 6.5 BB, it's all-in or fold. The only good I can see out of your line is if your all-in bet (which you NEED to make on this flop) will get him to fold. So, all-in pre-flop, and since you didn't, get it all-in on the flop.

I actually did go all in on the flop, he had JJ and my hand did not imrove, did not hit any of my 15 outs.

Been there, done that. It sucks, but that's poker.

P.S. I also agree with Trevorwc. All-in PF with a suited KQ and less than 10BB.

How bad is this play? Is this not enough chips for a stop-n-go? Raising and not going all-in PF may look more impressive than the all-in. Can you get some unimproved hands that beat you (ex. A8) to fold on the flop or don't you have enough chips?
Dependent on the sb's stack I guess. I'm suprised he didn't put you all-in PF.
