The Dreaded Kiss of Death

Bah, eliminated in 7th in the league tourney all because of KK. This hand just never stands up to any hand it has dominated (although, I will admit he had a few outs on the flop). I'm just going to post the hand history, it's easier that way. Two hands later I push with big slick and get knocked out when someone with QT calls me.

You got your money, (and their money allin,) with the best hand. You have to remember that. They only had 6 outs (2 4's and the gutshot 7's.) And that is only 24% chance when the money went in. You played it well.
