I was playing a tournament on PokerStars, my stack: 10,500 and 7-7 letters I enter in the location I'm UTG, the position of the villain is MP2 with a stack of: 25K ... Blinds 3000/6000, I pay the BB and the flop comes: 6 7 6, being very short stack I do is go all in, the villain pays me and shows me AT ... TURN: RIVER T and T.
My question is, bad move on my hand, or bad luck? I must have gone all in pre flop?

two things
A) Obviously bad luck, you got your chips in ahead as a MASSIVE favourite, chances of him out-drawing you were slim-to-none, so obviously very unlucky
B) Yes obviously go allin - according to what you wrote you were down to <2BB why you would flat call / set mine for 1BB with <1bb left behind is just beyond ridiculous and makes no sense. With a very vulnerable hand like 77 last thing you want is multiple limpers pre flop, so obviously put your whole stack in next time.
Also: Why did you have <2BB ? I seriously hope its because you just lost a massive hand the previous hand, seriously- never EVER let your stack dwindle down to this level, it just kills your fold equity.

You had less than 2 BB when the hand started, so of cause this is an all-in preflop. At the flop it is a no brainer push, but of cause he had to call you with any two here.

wft are you even thinking with less than 2BB's- no you made a wrong move: you should have raised pre flop, if he reraises you- tthen you 3 bet him, after the flop do a check raise, and put magic words "fcuk off idiot" in the chat box to squeeze out extra profit...then reraise him a couple of times more to finallly go all in....wait a sec i forgot you only have <2BB's

It was only bad luck, in my opinion. You were too short not to go all-in. Perhaps it would be even better if you had gone all-in pre-flop, but that can be questionable, considering the pair you’re holding (not 10’s or higher). I would if I were you. Your opponent didn’t put you on the hand you had, and he should have felt relief when he saw the turn and the river. Next time will be better.

If somehow I manage to be in the position of being UTG with less than 2bb I'm shoving with anything before the blinds hit me, even 7,2os.
In the unlikely event everyone folds to your shove you'll pick up the big and small blinds. If you wait until the next hand, when it's your big blind, the best you can do is pick up the small blind only.

ofcourse its badluck you had like 98%-99% chance to win that hand after flop..And in this case its not important how you played it cause he would call you preflop too so the result would be same always But for future you should go all in preflop...
Something similar happened to me but not exactly same.. I flopped fullhouse too, but he has a pair on hand,and he made higher fullhouse on river

is just bad luck...but in a situation where after the flop: ------you check,him maybe 60% check ------turn comes,you check/bet 1 BB,him just call ------after the river you check/all in(just in case he was tag player) him bet/call ......anyway my opinion:in tournamet that u really want to cash in just fold in that position cards like: pair<JJ,aces with card<Q...on stars never know in what stupid hand are involved... GL next time

it's bad luck , even if you push all-in pre-flop , A T, he could call you 99% .... he called you on flop when he had nothing.... the thing is , he could lost a very short stacks ... so he just payd you, and the bad luck for you came on turn - river.
i've lost 2 times with 2 pairs, 66 , 99 against some1 with AK and A 6. Because those 2 times , camed like ....Flop - ( random card ) 8 8 / turn - 8 / River - 8 ..... what's are the odds for this .... ?
i forgot you only have <2BB's 
But for future you should go all in preflop...
