$85 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (1st out of 69 Players)

stayed relatively quite.  until 3rd round i flop a set of 9s against a preflop raise. i get him all in with his over pair and nearly double up.  then i had began losing some chips both with missing my big hands and bad bluffs. i get down to about 7k in chips in the 6th level starting was 7500.  i try to pick up a steal and get 2 callers for 1200 i flop a flush 1 check I bet 2 both call turn is a blank check i check button shoves other guy calls and i call for less and i triple up there neither one even had a diamond so both drawing dead.  i keep at or just above chip level most of tourney.  i drop a little with about 18 left.  then start stealing some blinds and i get kk and double up against a top pair top kicker flop.  then i start stealing the blinds and antes as we near the bubble it pays 9 and there is typically a 10 spot bubble pay as well. then a big hand player goes all in for 16k i have about 50k and big stack has about 80k i just call. big stack and bb calls blinds are 8 1600 with 300ante.  i have pocket 7s i check the flop bb kh 2h 10c makes it 10k i call turn is a 8h one i check he bets 10 again. i decide to call just too much invested and i have the 7h i dont believe he has a flush draw and presume he has a decent hand now where on the flop i thought he was trying to isolate. river is a 10h i bet my remainder calls and shows A 10 no heart so i win the side and all in guy has 88 for a boat and wins the main. i get to have a comfortable chip count and table lead.  we get down to 10 and i am 3rd in chips i say lets just take 10 out each and pay 10th place.  all agree we lose one i try to chop but guy to my left has decent chips says he wants the pride of playing not the money and wont chop.  he ends up leaving in 7th. we get down to 6 i offer the big stack a chop guy to my left of 1000 we split rest 500 each he doesnt agree.  i build up my chips and become a pretty big chip leader with 4 left i offer another chop he almost agrees and changes mind this time i get 1000 and they each get 7 he refuses then as well.  i continue to run over the table we get down to 3 they can both hurt me with a double up i offer 1 last chop they each get 800 and ill take the rest 1175 they agree but the one guy wants to put 100 each and play for that so i said sure i bust him out after like 40 min when he raises my bb and i have qq he bets flop of 8 high i call he shoves turn i call he shows j 8 and doesnt get 2 pair. other guy doesnt have much for chips but was playing really tight and slow a lost some pots to him earlier where he didn't reraise me when he straight turn and 2nd nut flush on river with no one left to act so had a hard time putting him on hands.  should have just shoved again and again and won his 100 but immediately suggested i take the other guys 100 he keeps his and he was quick to oblige

felt pretty good.  wasn't getting much for cards but making the best of it still growing my stack to keep up with the avg.  an early position raises it to 1600 blinds 200 400 25 i call near button with 6s7s no one else calls flop 7h 7d 4s i bet out 2k he calls turn is a 5s i have him on a decent pair so i check to induce a bet.  he shoves i snap call of course with 3 7s and an open ended straight flush draw.  he shows AsQs and he rivers the Js for a bigger flush.  (bs) that cripples me and im forced to make some moves with only about 2bbs left.  i get called and lose.

$2 No-Limit Texas Hold'em

I suck at cash!!!! no big hands to speak of my bluff timing has been off on cash and i need to fix that or just play ultra tight.  I'm just hurting myself playing too many hands and playing bad post flop.
