Bobby,
You're on the bubble against the CL. Normally I raise with any K or A on the button or CO to steal against medium to tight players (VPIP < 25%). And I would only raise 2.5x bb. If they come over the top, I fold.
But here, it's so likely the CL is going to call you with almost anything that you're basically calling off your whole stack with K5. While not the worst play in the world, I'd fold. Sucks the CL is to your immediate left.
I'd just wait to see if someone else busts out first, or if I can pick up a better hand.
And yes, you made the right play with the K8 before, but I would have only raise to 2.5 - 3x bb. I've learned that in SNG's, you always end up in low M situations (along with everyone else), so don't think you have to push your whole stack in. A 2.5-3x bb raise is just as crippling to them as an all in, and it still allows you to get away from the hand if they go all in.
