Sometimes, You Just Know It's Not Your Day...

I guess today is truly nasty gross beats day...
Hand One - 15/30 blinds I'm down to 600 or so. LP limps, and I reraise the button with AA to 120. He's loose, and a donk, so he calls. Flop K -8-9 rainbow, he checks, I bet 180, he puts me all-in, I call, he has As9s. 9 on turn, gg me.
Hand Two - small limit tourney, 25/50 with 1050 chips, I limp KdJd UTG, there's a caller, and then big stack who min raises every pot and seems loose makes it 100. Couple of callers behind and then I push over top feeling pretty sure I have the best hand. Big stack calls with Ks2h and flops two spades, turns one, and rivers the Jack of Spades just to add insult to injury.
Hand Three - small limit tourney, I hold Q3 offsuit in the small blind. Flop comes A-Q-3 rainbow, I bet out, get called, and then LP makes a big raise. Since it's early, I push, and both players call. Turned out reraiser had AQ and other guy had A3 so I am drawing totally dead.
Hand Four - Double shootout to Sunday Mil, first round, table of 4 players. I get JJ UTG and make it 80 at 10/20, player to my left calls, blinds fold. Flop K-J-4 rainbow, I lead out for 100 to look weak and hopefully get raised by other guy but he smooth calls. Turn is a 3, I check, and he bets 100. Normally, I reraise here, but I had a strong feeling he didn't have much and that I could get more money out of the hand if I just called, so I called. The river was a 10, I checked, and he bets 200 into 590. I value-raise to 500, he pushes, I call, and lo and behold he has AQ and has rivered the NUTS. Thaaaaaat's poker...
