KQ is too good of a hand not to play in this situation. When the average stack is only 11x the big blind, you're simply going to have to mix it up at some point and hope the cards are in your favor.

There is a rule of thumb that says with less than 10x the big blind, you should either go all-in or fold. Your stack was right on the borderline so I don't have a problem with the move you made. I'm assuming that if someone made a big reraise you were prepared to fold; otherwise you should just go all-in from the start.

With the nut no-pair hand on the river I think you should have just shown it down. Very few hands that can beat you will fold here.
