anyway...alls well that ends well...

I don't normally go in with K7, I thought he was pushing to steal the blinds and we were heads up for the final 2

For example one of the hands I went out on with the other tourny I had QK suited UTG and limped in. (Going in for a raise generally meant someone behind me would go all in over the top and I didn't want to comit myself to the pot that badly at that stage of the tournament) There was one other limper and the BB. Flop came out JKK so that gave me top set with second best kicker.

All I then had to fear was either AK or KJ with 3 of the Kings accounted for I thought that it was unlikely for someone else to have those hands. I pushed in a pot sized bet and got a call behind me. Turn was a 9 I went all in (I only had about 1/4 of the pot in chips left) got called and he turned over AK.

I have finished in the top 5 a couple of times in these and couple of days ago I was 35th when my pocket Queens went all in preflop and got called by A10 and there was an ace on the river. Winning that would have put me in about 5th position and a good chance of at least a couple of hundred.

Not a bad result at the end of the evening, considering your positions in the actual tournaments. Well played in the Sit N Go, maybe these suit you more as a player than the larger tournaments. Luck always plays a part in poker and it looks like after your bad run of luck in the tournaments, it came along in your sit n go (perfect timing)

I have alot more downs than ups

I have stories that would blow your mind

I hate downers

Sounds like an awsome win man. I know when I won a 750 entrant tournament, I got a number of lucky hands that alowed me to 1) Stay alive and 2) win (my K7 vs his KJ)
