Im a noob at poker so take this fwiw, however after raising 1900 I would not have checked the flop but thrown out a ~12-1600 bet after the flop. Had he re-raised or all-in even though loose is a hard call with just top pair.

Not a terrible move but i guess could have played it a bit more careful? Just food for thought.

i would had raised less Like 3 BBs.
There are some things to consider here. Was he ever all in with less than two pairs? Did he ever limped with KQ, AQ, JQ?
Folding here is hard. But not impossible with the right reads. Just to be sure he is going all in with at least 2 pairs.

id seen him push with middle pair and a gut shot earlier. lost he was betting alot and not getting called hence the check on the flop knew he was going to bet big plus was a little concerned about bb having q,q roughly same amount of chips as me. its just really frustrating getting called by a q,4 suited pre which makes me think I didnt raise enough.

Maybe a bet in the flop, and a raise from the chip leader will have made u think.

Playing oop to 3 potential players isn't great when holding KK. I would prefer raising more pre-flop narrowing the field to 1 player and never fold to anyone who shoved over me. I'm also not folding on this flop with ur stack.

Don't be results orientated.

I think you played the hand fine, you just got out flopped. It happens to all of us. KK vs Q4 is a match up you want all day every day.
