Semi frustrated update

Decided not to play on Monday after the big tournament weekend... did play the Palomar morning tournament on Tuesday and although did not have to rebuy, I did go out around 18th place. This morning I decided to try the Oceans 11 wed. morning $60 (50+10) buyin with a $3500 guarantee. Turns out they had 115 players for a $5500 prize pool and they randomly assign two players at each table as bounty players (you take them out you get $10). I was doing pretty well including collecting a bounty when I took a guy out. We were down to 16 players (they were paying 11 places) with a $300 ante and blinds of 1,000-2,000. I was under the gun with about $8000 and looked down at a K of spades Q of clubs. I was big blind next so i decided to push all in.... seat seven called with about $6000 and turned over JJ (with one spade)... the flop had no face cards but did turn 3 spades, so know I have around 19 outs to win the pot... of course the last two cards blanked and I lost the hand. To add insult to injury I was all in blind the next hand... one other player went all in and we were heads up... he turned over AQ... I still had not looked at my cards and the first card I flipped was the A of diamonds... the second card was the K of diamonds... the table reacts and I am still alive... flop nothing... turn nothing... river.... a Q to end my day in 16th place... if I hit that KQ I definately make the money.... as Maxwell Smart would say... missed it by thhhat much :)
