Instincts - All in.

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooosssh!!
I had a most amazing hand on William Hill Poker.
I was tilting slightly and playing £0.5/£1 NL. TH'em.
So all in all I was doing everything wrong. I should have switched off the computer or jumped down to a much lower table.
Anyway I was the cutoff with KQ os playing 9 handed at a ten seat table.
A looseish tricky player in middle postion raises to £5 and a tighter player in late position calls.
I was playing a tournament (multitabling) at the time and was in a critical stage at the tournament, feeling down on my luck and about to call it a night. However I was also quite tired and instead of just folding as intended (the initial raiser was a fairly tricky player) I accidentally clicked raise for a min raise to £9.
Two callers and blast, I'd probably wasted £9 on KQ os.
Flop comes A,K,3. Not brilliant. Probably an ace out there. Initial raiser checks, 2nd checks and tilting I bet out £10, albeit only a feeler bet, I could feel a bluff brewing on my part. I wasn't committed with my £140 stack vs two other stacks that had me covered just about but I was tilting and that accidental raise when I meant to fold had just tipped me. It was coming.
The first guy calls and the 2nd raises to £25. I called and the initial raiser folds and out tipped a 10. It was checked to me and I went all in. ALL IN<>. I just felt this was right. Sledgehammer time.
ALLL IN!!! BOOOOOM!!! BANG!!! BOOOM!!!!! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!
ALLLL IN! I was all in. ALL IN. BOOOOOOOOOOOOSCH!!! BOOOSH!!!
WOOOOF!!! BOOOOM!!! KERPOW!!!! KERPIFF!!!! SPLAT!!! SPLOOSH!!! BOOOOSH!! WOOOSH!!! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
The timer ticked down. I was almost certain I was beat. This was a pure bluff from the heart. I hoped my opponent had got snagged on AQ, or tried to overplay a high pocket pair, but not AA,KK,TT I hoped for dear life. Lose this and I'd be on ULTRA MEGA TILT.
The timer ticked to the orange. Surely he wouldn't think I was fishy enough to be representing JQ? Surely he'd see my classic min reraise preflop, my trap play on the flop and the big move when I detected strength as a sign I had the monster KK or AA.
I couldn't bear to watch. I minimised the window and went all in with A rag in the tournament. Late stages. Thunder tourney. Big blinds.
I reopened the fateful window, knowing I'd see a message telling me I had insufficient funds at the table.
JOY!! OH BOOM!! OH GLORIOUS BOOOM !! WOOOSH !! BLOOOOP!!
<<Show winning hand<< <<Muck Winning hand>>
He had folded, not only had he folded he had made a 'master' laydown of AK I was later told. Nice set, he congratulated me.
ty gf I said....having chosen to conceal the bluff.
Phew.
A crap play by me.......BUT......you have to love it when a plan comes together.
Crap play or pure genius? Should I have shown my cards to tilt him?
