Try try again

I played another $26 satellite tournament last night with about 260 people. I finally won a nice pot about 45 minutes in and got up to 2400 chips. I was 63 of 124 at the first break. Got moved to a new table a couple times. buying blinds here and there. 67 of 90 and I got AK in the BB. 4 limpers so I pushed all in. Guy who limped with QQ calls. I hit the A on the flop and flush on the turn and I'm up to 5130 chips. I was 27 of 70 with blinds at 100/200 and chip leader has about 22k chips. So a little while later I have QQ in middle position. I raise to 700 and the BB raises to 1200. He only had a few hundred chips less than me so I didn't want to get in a race against AK . I called with the intention of pushing on any flop without an A or K. flop came KT9. He bet out the minimum 200. I called...in retrospect I should have raised to find out where I was at. He pushed on a rag on the turn and i had to give up the hand :( that was the beginning of the end. Played another couple of bad hands. I finally had to go all in with KTo and got called by ATo. No help and I finished 41.
