I never would have pushed over-the-top with this hand. It's a drawing hand (and fairly weak at that). The flop will bring 2 more of your suit about 1 in 8 times and then you're still a 2 to 1 dog to make the flush. His raise was mid position, so probably not an out and out steal move.

Also, what happens if the K falls and you have that power kicker?

It's arguable that you should have folded to the raise.

your stack was too big to make this play. if you had 10 big blinds or less, i would say it was o.k.

What was your initial raise all about?
You shouldn't have got yourself involved in this hand.

I agree with all of the above. You have a decent stack, why risk it on a crappy hand like this?

Don't like the re-raise at all. You're lucky he only had QJ and not AK or a wired pair.

The guy is putting out almost 1/5 of his stack. Odds are he isn't going to lay this hand down by coming over the top.

I don't like the re-raise at all. But if you wanted to gamble this was the guy to do it against (not with K4 though). You win, you are chip lead at your table. If not, you still have plenty of chips to build back up with.
