At least you went out playing the hand well and getting unlucky. You could have had QQ, UTG could have had JJ and the results would be reversed. But overall the play should be +ev.
When I bust in tournaments to bad luck or losing a coin flip with a short stack shove, that’s how it goes and long term the play should be +ev. It’s when you make a mistake and bust that you really need to analyse your play so as not to make the same mistake again.
