Why are you calling an almost 14BB bet pre flop with KJo? That's your biggest mistake - I probably fold it to the first raise, let alone to a reraise and a call.

^^you read wrong. He first called 50 (2.5xBB). Still ugly to play, but with that stack I may want to peek the flop. When the other guy goes all in for 635 you need to fold your garbage.

You only think you played this ok because the other guy had ppJ. More often than not, you're still losing this hand based on the betting to AJ as well.

Have you read HoH 1 & 2? If not you should. Harrington's consistent theme in both books is that you should always try to position your decisions where they will be the easiest. Once youre in t635 with KJo you're bound to make poor decisions afterward. Thats why you donked on down to the river. If you folded this hand in the first place you would still be in fine position. Instead you're left with t150 and your dick in your hand.

We all like to see a flop with KJ. Calling the raise was OK. Calling the all-in would be a marginal play at best. You are almost surely an underdog. Do you expect anything less than Ax or pocket pair?
But you aren't just calling a short stack all-in. There is another caller. You are no doubt a huge underdog against 2 opponents.
Then, after the flop, you just fell in love with TPGK. Board reads J66 and he checkraises your big bet. What did you put him on? Here's your biggest mistake... you played your hand and didn't put him on a hand! He likely has trip 6s, set of Js, AA, KK, QQ or AJ. And of these you can still only beat AJ and QQ if a K hits the turn or river.
The only thing you have beat is Jx (worse kicker), flush draw, pocket pair T or less. Unless you read him as a terrible player, these hands are highly unlikely. Would he have called the all-in PF or check raised the flop with these marginal hands?
To summarize:
1) KJ is a big underdog against an all-in and a call.
2) TPGK probably isn't good enough after getting check raised.
3) Now he comes out with a big bet on the turn.... run away fast!

It looks like you were doing well in this tourney. You can't throw it all away, falling in love with this hand. Eliminate these types of mistakes and you will improve greatly.

dude, both your call preflop are bad. When calling he 600 do you think your hand is favored here?? Also, calling like that leaves you naked, other pl behind you can re-raise. FOLD

What did I read wrong? He first called the 50, then jazron made the 14BB bet and he called that as well - granted he had some money it the pot so he "only" called 13ish of that.

I still say both calls were poor. Granted KJ is a hand you want to see a flop with, but if you get a raise in early position (unless your opponents are morons), thats the type of hand that has an excellent chance of being dominated. To call the all-in, especially after the original raiser has alrady called, is just horrible IMO.
