Another down day

Played a bit of 2/4, 1/2 and 1/2 6max. I ended down about $50 overall. Lost about 80 playing 2/4 and made back the rest playing 1/2 and 1/2 6max. I was just not getting any cards today and when I did I got hammered. Two hands that killed me at 2/4:

Hand 1:
KK in CO. MP2 raises, I 3 bet, SB caps, we both call.
Flop J52. SB bets, MP2 raises, I 3 bet, SB caps.
Turn J. SB bets, MP2 raises, (I should have folded in retrospect. What was the chance that they both QQ, TT or lower at this point.) I call, SB calls.
River Q. Checks around.

SB has KK
MP2 has AA
I have KK
sigh

Hand 2:
MP1 raises, I 3bet with JJ in MP2. CO calls 3 bets cold ( i knew that wasn't looking good)
Flop T83 with 2 hearts.
MP1 checks, I bet, CO calls
Turn Ah. MP1 checks, I bet, CO calls ( I figure he has an ace but is scared of flush? maybe has Kh?)
River is a 4 and we all check. CO has KK and beats my JJ. Should I have fired a bet here? especially with the original raiser still in?

Maybe I'll try to find the hand histories and post them on the forums.

SportsBetting:
2-2 last night, +$2.45
23-23 overall
+$3.93 overall

tonight -
Rockies +140
Cubs -1.5 @ +150
Nationals +104
Tigers/Indians Under 9 @ -120
Raiders +280

Egads - you're betting on the Rockies? Sure, they've been hot this last month but watch out! They can crumble at any time!

That hand with AA vs KK vs KK. Seems like I ran into that identical hand a few weeks ago at a ChipTalk.net tournament on Stars. The random number generator must have duplicated that hand on ya. I was on the losing side of that one myself. Scary!!!
