Surely KK is strong enough to push on this flop right? Should I push this preflop to save a tricky sitation if an A comes on the flop or is the raise ok? I was a little shocked with what the BB called with.

That was quite a bad play with Q9 from the other guy but it happens.

Nh, well played. These calls from the villain will make you a lot of money in the long run.

I won the hand still but I was just a bit shocked that he called with that, usually the donks are too tight when it gets late in a tourney.

Raise is good. I dont think all in pre flop is right. Ax is a hand I am happy to be up against with KK.
If A hits on flop you can still get away from it.
I would never fold KK on this flop, all in is right imo.
