Friday night was a very long poker session, about 7 hours with an $18 profit. Not too good an hourly rate. I lost a $260 pot on the river when I flopped a full house with pocket 10's on a 6/6/10 flop. River was a jack which improved a player's pocket jacks to a bigger full house. Saturday morning turned out very well at the 8:00 tournament with no bad beats, winning every race. Chopped 1st & 2nd for a $170 win.
Sunday morning tournament was pretty bad for me. Began early by bumping my kings into aces. Lost about 30% of my starting chips. Next I flopped a straight to be beaten on the river by a flush. Next I chased a double gutter and missed. Last hand, I flopped top pair (flop was J/10/6) with 2 clubs (I had K/J, no clubs). The whole world was in the pot and calling an early position bettor who had 6/5 of diamonds. That's right, he was betting into a crowd with bottom pair. With the world calling and not enough chips to shove and get folds, I just called. Turn was another 6, he bet big and everyone but me folded. I re-raised a few chips and he called, of course. Player down. Very unusual tournament for me, 3rd player out on my table and did not win a single hand.

Yeah, that was pretty crappy. I felt sorry for you. Having your KK run into AA was terrible & it went downhill from there. The good news is that the next tournament just has to be better - right? Talk to you in a couple of weeks. Good luck at the tables!
