Congrats,

I got taken out by quad Jacks half way through.

With a flat payout structure I don't think anyone is going to help you out too much with the other two short stacks, but you have to remeber when pushing with a hand like KQ your a dog to any Ax and slight dog to a pocket pair which are the hands likely to call you, you got lucky wiht the J9 that was a bad call. I'm guessing the table was shorthanded 5-7 people so the blinds are coming fast and you need to make moves you just got unlucky, if anything pushing with marginal holdings from the button/cutoff when no one opens up the pot is the optimal time to make a move, unless you commit the blinds.
