Did I play badly? (advice)

[mrmuzeman]

Ok in a multi table tourny. I hold around 1000 in chips. Its early in the tourny and this is just an average amount of chips. Dealt KK in the hole. Early position. The big blind was 30, I bet 60. I figure get a couple of callers then bet big on the flop as long as it doesnt look bad. I got 4 callers. Flop came 9. 9. 7. None were the same suit so no flush possibility. Under the gun someone bet 400. I didnt like this but thought why bet such a big amount if indeed you have a 9. I decide not to fold but go all in over the top. The two others fold, the original better called. He had A9. No help (obviously) from remaining two cards and im out. Did I play this badly? Should I have played with more strength pre flop? Should I have folded my kings? My thinking was since I was in early position I should have perhaps bet more. Perhaps 120 (big blind 30). Im not sure if all in was the correct play after the flop. I couldnt call as it was half my stack so may as well go for it. But should I have folded?

Re: Did I play badly? (advice) Mr Muzeman - I'm not sure how most people would have played that hand and what is 'wrong' or 'right' (statistically speaking) but I would have been all in pre flop with KK (even in early position) as I know that only AA can be ahead of me. This is the way I would have played given your chips in an early tourney stage.
