once again 1 short of major prize

playing tight all game (to the point the whole table folds when im on bb or raise) down to FINAL 2!! pays 1 with a choice of PS3, camera, laptop etc hold was K 6 think diamonds and clubs so i call bb an extra $1500 from my $58000. flop comes 6 6 9 i raise 20% total chips. turn comes a 5 thinking safe bet raised all in to be called by a 5 7. i laugh as i start thinking which of the prizes ill choose in the split second before the river reveals an 8!!! a bloody 8

this being like the 5 time this has happened to me, to come 1 away and be let down. wtf??? did i do the right thing and bad luck or did i make a donk raise then all in???
