It was a $230. Buy in. With 159 players. With 10,000 beginning chips.
After 3 hours of play there were 50 players left playing and blinds were up to $600, $1,200 with $200 ante with average stack size of 30,000 chips.
Pre-flop bidding: I was in cut off position with about $50,000 in chips and got pocket QQ. Under the gun position had about $17,000 in chips and went All-in. So I thought it was a pretty easy decision to call, so I did. Then small blind ( tight aggressive) with $45,000 chips snap raises to all in. So I still was happy to have pocket queens and thought I was already almost halfway down the road from already calling $17,000 so I decided to call an additional $28,000. So I only had about $5,000. of chips left after calling.
Since both other players were all in, we all turned over our cards. The original raiser in under the gun position had JJ. But the small blind position who also went all in when I called, had KK. I knew I was dominated when I saw the pocket kings. Of course all 5 community cards came and the pocket kings won. I lost 95% of my chips in one hand.
I am not sure if I had made the right decisions. Of course if I knew one player had kings, I would have folded.
My second guessing my decisions are:
1. Since I forgot to even consider the players behind me when I made the original call of $17,000., should I have gone all in at that time to ( to try)discourage having a show down with three players?
2. Should I have folded to the small blind who three bet All-In, after one All-In and a large call?
3. Did I do the right thing because pocket queens are are darn good hand and pocket aces and pocket kings are the only two possible hands that would be stronger and are not very common?
4. Any other advice or thoughts?

Guy limps in utg +1, he is a rabid f***ing donkey, then there is another limper from mid 2 or so. Me in the small blind get KK, so bump it 5*bb call and call. The flop was K 8 4 rainbow. I bet big because I know the donk will call with any piece and the other will 95% fold. To my surprise, the donk ship me in. Now I know that in most cases this is fantastic, but the first thought through my head was 'great how am I going to lose this one', then muscle memory took over and I clicked call and licked my chops. His hand turned over to show 9,5 of clubs, and yes there was one club on that rainbow flop. Once I saw the hand I had a quick chuckle and then saw a club on the turn and had that panic thought, ' oh no, not runner runner.' And then the river which as you already know brought the club and the end of my game and story and me muttering
"FFS, F***ing MORONS"
Until next time

Situations where I was 80/20 to win I won 0. I lost aces to king, kings to nines you get the idea. I'm sure it wasn't actually 0 times I won but I lost more than Iwon when way in front. I won't even start on times where I lost to Ax when holding pairs. I was playing, if not my best, damn near it.
I know I shouldn't take it too serious, they are freerolls into an $0.11 tournament but the league games are for points and cash and then bonus cash for the top 50 point getters of the week. So what are some of the ways you all keep from going on tilt and losing it.
