No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (2,310th out of 5000 Players)

Tonight's tournament was just a bust for me. I wasn't getting any hole cards that I could work with and was getting blinded out early. I lost about $500 of my starting $1500 when I had to bluff to cover up not hitting the flop with my KJ.
 
 
Some more folds later I come across KJ again in early position with 30/60 blinds. One folds, one calls and one raises to $180. I'm already feeling pressure so I called the raise. Flop comes down 7c 9c Jh. Early position raised and then seat behind me re-raises to $1200. At this point I've let myself get more than a little annoyed at my cards so I called and went all in. Turn was 4c and then the river came... Qh.
 
Three hands were shown... my jacks, pocket AA and the winning hand: QJ.
 
The winner did comment that he couldn't fault my call and that it was just a bad river. I would've lost anyway even if that river hadn't come because the seat behind me slow played his pocket AA like no one's business.
 
Oh well, not every night can be good.
