Cracked!

I'm sitting with $4K early in a 10+1 multi table tournament.
I have a tight image, and in the small blind I get AA. blinds 75/150
The $8K chip leader, who has been in every hand raises 3x BB from mid position, $450.
I reraise to 1K. He calls.
flop: xxK
I bet 1K, he puts me all-in, I call, He shows KQ off.
turn: K
I hate this game sometimes.

On the other hand, I have a list of recent successes:
  • That very crack continues to validate Idiot Detector™
  • We now have over 2,500 shared player notes!
  • IM coaching of players has resulted in measured improved results. No known cases of collusion.
  • Nux Vomica has reached a cap of 20 players.
  • 4 members made final tables yesterday including a 1st by GaHurricane
  • My personal online bankroll has recovered by placing 4th in a 10$ MTT.
  • All group particpants seem pleased with how Nux Vomica is being run.

I do need a tad more particpation by some MIA members.

Update: I found the blog of the guy who beat me:

I'm sitting with $8K early in a 10 + 1 multi table tournament
I have a loose image, and get a decent starting hand on the button
blinds 75/150
As the big stack, I feel it paramount that I raise 3x BB to 450.
This knucklehead re-raises me to 1K, I call
flop xxK
He bets 1K, and I quickly put him all in, he's been paying tight. He shows AA just as I suspected.
turn comes K just as I expected.
I love this game sometimes... I went out shortly after that, I had Q 9 and on the flop came AA4 and of course I went all in and some guy had an A, what are the odds?
