should I have shoved?

large stack raise means he is strong but has a range.
all in had just lost a big pot on river.
shoved hoping to isolate.
didn't work out!!

we are not that far in to the tournie, but except for a couple of hands I had been very passive and folding a lot.

so many knockout hands start with "well i had KK" he had A.......
surprised at soo many callerrs though in this hand. but certasinly not surprised that someone wont let go of AK

Yes, it was correct, the all-in guy could easily be tilting and shoving light. You're quite deep and I suppose it could be argued that by just calling you might induce somebody else to re-shove over you (you'd be calling of course), but I'd be very happy getting it all-in preflop with KK here, it's unlikely anybody will wake up with AA and most times you won't be up against multiple callers. This is a move that will show you a big profit in the long term, don't let your bad luck this time stop you off making the same play in the future.

was it a freeroll?

Nothing wrong with your all in move here, what else are you going to do?

it was
using them as "training" as much as you can with them before buying in to tournies. Having bad cash run so thought try something different.
just want to make sure I am making the "correct" plays before take the plunge!!

Mr_Miyagi

You did the 100% thing right thing to go all in, the pot was a very decent pot to take after "b" goes all in. And in some cases for buy-in tournaments "m" might fold with AK if there has been 2 all-ins so you would have won yourself a massive pot.

As it's a freeroll though, everyone comes along for the ride and you just have to take the fact that you did the right thing and got it all in good for a giant pot and was just out flopped.
