Poker today

well Full Tilt was again out of action, new software to download it said, so after downloading it i logged in and feeling uneasy i tried to view a cash table first... sure enough not much came up!!
seen this prob before so decided to leave FT for today and try again 2moro when hopefully it just starts working for some reason

so, on to pokerstars i go and i get in the $6 turbo 2 table tourny again, i think these are great value!!

playing pretty conservatively i make it to the final 12 or so, then take a few pots and we are the final 9.

early on i get 1010, make a raise get a call, flop a 10 i check the guy has been aggressive before, he duely come back over the top i call all in and we down to 8 and i 3rd in chips

i then get a run of cards, i get KK, something, QQ, something QQ, something, AKsuited, 1010 again, and the best part is that i make the most out of all of them, after this run we are down to 5 or 6 and i either chip leader or close 2nd

goes down to 4 which is payout time, and the small stack has been pushing all in almost every other hand

first hand i get against him.. AA i am SB so i just call, he is BB and as normal pushes all in, i insta call and its game over for him when his 37 does hit anything!!

down to 3 i wait my time but keep the pressure on with raises here and there, i am healthy chip leader, i take out 3rd place when my 66 beats his k4 so we heads up

i have about 20k
he has 4k

i raise a few times and get him to fold, he takes a few pots but i then get it back

with blinds about 500/1000 he cant last long
so when i get AQsuited i push him in, he calls with J4

flop x QJ,
turn x,
river... any guesses?? 4!! giving him 2 pair

with a few more chips he a bit more aggressive and at just the wrong time my cards seem to dry up!!

i call a few raises he and there to try see some flops but no joy

then a key hand, i have A9 he has A10, it all goes in and he hits a 10 on the flop
now i short stack, i fight and get some back
i get lucky with all in 310 v his A9 when my 3 on the flop holds

but i still treading water and the blinds go up to 600/1200!!

i get A7 suited and push he calls with J6, ace on flop and i look safe...... do feel that......
it coming.....
turn 6, river....... J!! so his 2 pair does me again!!

oh well happy with 2nd and another $32, that twice in 2 days!!

maybe i need to work on my heads up??
but with the blinds getting so high once u lose a few chips ur struggling
