He put him on KK because he had been losing to him all night, so he was on tilt which affected his judgment.
Johnnie, you have to learn to ignore results. It's a very, very, very hard lesson but you have to do it. From your previous time at the table with this guy, based on his play rather than results, what you should have learned was: "This guy will put all his chips in the middle with all sorts of crap." Instead, because you were focused on results, you learned the lesson: "This guy keeps beating me." So at the end you put him on the one hand that could beat you, and you flat called instead of pushing, and you cost yourself a bunch of money.
If I flop top boat, especially against a guy who has been playing for stacks with all kinds of crap, frankly I don't care what cards come after that (short of runner-runner 4s or some such): I'm getting all my money in the middle if I possibly can.
