SB bets 640, Hero raises to 1,800, SB raises to 2,590 and is All-In, Hero calls 790

Turn: (6,340) J

(2 Players - 1 is All-In)

River: (6,340) A

(2 Players - 1 is All-In)

Results: 6,340 Pot
Hero showed K A (two pair, Aces and Kings) and LOST (-3,090 NET)

SB had been relatively loose all along the tournament... Have i been mad to reraise and go all-in on the flop ?

You should shove the flop. No reason not to get it all in here. If by your question you're asking if you were crazy to reraise him then the answer is not at all. I'd expect to see a weak top pair or flush draw or worse in this spot way more often than KJ or AA or a set of any kind , enough for a shove on the flop to be profitable.

Raising any less than all in was pointless considering your stack size and villain's.

LOL wasn't even paying attention to the results. OP if you're questioning whether you made the right call , even when you clearly made the right call then poker's going to be difficult for you. It's your 1st post but villain hit a 5 outer against you and got his mid pair weak kicker up against TPTK.
You might want to post some hands in the beginner section rather than here if you really feel the need to post hands like this.

Thought villain must have showed up here with a monster for OP to be questioning this play. I tend to post some hands which I think are standard when I was drawing slim and assumed I was way ahead.

PF raise is fine I guess maybe a little lss does it also

shove on Flop no matter how loose he was.

As played definitely call his reraise.
