Here's my explanation.

Last night I was playing 9-18 at Commerce Casino. I was up a rack or so ($300) playing super-tight aggressive for a few hours, when the following happened.

I limp in with A-4 suited (bad, I know, but I'd been getting no cards; I got 3 pocket pairs, all lower than 8-8, in 5 hours). Pot is raised by Mr. super aggressive who was up a few racks. Lots of limpers, I call.

FLop comes Q-6-4, rainbow. Checked to the raiser, he bets, I call. Down to 3 players. Turn comes a 6. Checked to the raiser. He bets. I check-raise. He calls. Other guy folds

River comes a 10. I bet, he calls. With pocket 5s.

Three hands later, I pick up A-K under the gun. Aggressive guy raises. I three-bet, and somebody else caps it. Flop comes K-J-6, again rainbow. I bet, aggressive raises. I three bet, he caps. Four players in the hand.

Turn comes a 2. I check to Mr. Aggressive. He bets, I call, as does everyone else. Huge pot now.

River comes a Q. Check, Aggressive bets, I call. He shows A-10.

Boom, there goes my $300 in profit in two hands. We both left the table soon after, in very different frames of mind.

This post almost makes your unforgiveable use of the word "fabulous" in a prior post forgiveable. I'm sorry about your night. But didn't you think in (esp in a limit game) hand one that mr. super aggressive could have had a queen, or even paired the 6, or worse, flopped a set of 6's or 4's? Sticking around to the river with low pair and an ace kicker seems to be a little aggressive (you're hoping for one of two 4's or an ace?)

I say this only as a friend, and a big poker loser.
