Thought on this hand? I'll share my thinking after I get some responses.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (9 handed) converter

MP3 (t1510)
CO (t5615)
Button (t3633)
SB (t5235)
Hero (t1270)
UTG (t5317)
UTG+1 (t8263)
MP1 (t2193)
MP2 (t1851)

Preflop: Hero is BB with K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
3 folds, MP2 calls t200, 1 fold, CO calls t200, 1 fold, SB completes, Hero pushes All-in (1k more)

I concur. Plenty of chips in the pot and nobody's shown any real strength. I'm guessing it didn't work this time, but thems the breaks.

Yeah, this is a no-brainer. Everyone has flat called to you, you're already in for 200 and you've only got 1000 left (5 big blinds). Easy push. I guess you got burned, though, or you wouldn't be posting about it. Still the correct play.

I wasn't posting because I got burned.

I was more posting because I thought this was a no-brainer too, and I got criticized for it. I just wanted to check my thinking. Thanks guys.

As for the hand. I did get called by A8s and lost. But I still was okay with the play.

I just got critized tonight for pushing with K,Qs from the button when the table had folded to me and I had about 8x the BBs. Usually means you're doing something right..!
