Clearly this was "wrong" in the poker sense but what would you have all done in this spot? (honest answers please lol). I would have 100% moved all in.

Don't even need to give this a seconds thought, I would've pushed the lot in, my mindset being that when I double through I have not only almost guaranteed final table, but another load of rounds where I could pick up more pots and make one of the very high finishes, and even a realistic shot at top spot.. Just for the record Jez, same scenario but with KK?? Exact same for me, I'd be pushing, all day every day. Fair enough the guy who raised could be on a mid pair and hit a set, but, It doesn't mean you made a bad play at a crucial time, that would just be plain unlucky. Personally, I think anyone who throws away AA or KK in this position will struggle to ever win a tournament.
