3rd in $30, 1st in $10 Hyper HU, 6th in $10

Since my last post I've been going deep in a quite a few mtts. Came in 3rd in a $30 mtt out of 850 people, for roughly 2500. Two nights ago, I won the $10 hyper turbo for about 1900. LOL. God, you need to run good to win that tournament, too bad you dont get TLB points for heads up tournaments. Also, 2 nights in a row I've made the final 2 tables of the $10 MTT that starts at 7PM est. The first night, with about 18 left I have about 850k, blinds 5/10k. 2nd to act makes it 30k(560 total stack), 1 caller(chip leader), and I have kings on the button. I think about 3 betting it here to like 100k or something, but I was moved to the table a few hands before this and didn't really have a read on anyone, so I jam for 850k. Guy who opened tanks for a little bit, and ends up calling his other 53bbs with AJ suit, yea LOL, and he hits a flush. A few hands later I'm out due to a race.
Last night I was in the same boat, with having a big stack for quite a bit, I was up to 840k when blinds were just 2/4k. Eventually I was at about 1.4 mil blinds 6/12k, and I called an all in for a total of about 750k with JJ, he had AK. And even though it was just a flip, the way it played out was just brutal. Flop came J 9 2. He doesn't have backdoor flush drawing, so only out is running Q 10, and what do you know it came. I fought back and was able to make the final table, but am upset with myself for the call I made to go out. Blinds 30/60k i have about 1.1 mil, and raise it first to act to roughly 2.5x. BB who has about 1.8 mil if I remember correctly, just jams. I think for a little bit, and he was re jamming shorthand ALOT earlier, so I call but he has AK, and I brick. Even though I have that read on him, I should have folded, because he was the only other solid player at the table, and I could have outplayed everyone. But 6th was good for a little under 1k.

Heads ups still have been a little rough lately, and I'm still trying to find a groove. I played last night after my MTT, and finally had a positive session, even though it was a short session, in a LONG time. As for mtts, my confidence is staying very high, making consistent final tables, and I have been climbing up both the yearly TLB, and monthly TLB for March. I've moved into 258th on the year and I'm only 1300 points back from being on the top 150 list, and I'm also 67th for the month of March. There's almost no way ill fall out of the top 100, so I'll be getting a $100 bonus, which is pretty cool, and I'm only 27k fpps away from starting my $4k bonus. Pretty excited for the NBA playoffs to start in a few weeks, go lakerssssss, and just as excited for baseball to start on sunday.
That's it for now, Good luck.
