Not playing much

I haven't played too much poker in the last couple of days. I did play three SNG's yesterday. I played a $7+1 qualifier and finished second which gives me another $7+1 ticket. Then I played a $22 SNG. I finished 9th when my 88 didn't hold up against an AJ. The last tournament I played was a $50+4. I'm proud to say I finished second. Good for $150. I was lucky to hang around long enough to get second. I had a couple of marginal hands hold up to get there. But when I got there, I was a big unlucky. When it got to heads up, I was outchippped 2-1. About the third hand, I pick up AK and go all in. The guy calls with A-10 and now I'm up 2-1 in chips. The very next hand, I get KK. I just call hoping to get him to make a play. He goes all in and flips over AJ. He flops an A and is back up 2-1. Three hands later, I get 66 and go all in. He call with A-10 and flops an A. GG me. I wasn't too upset because I did finish second and that gives me a lot more $$ to play the qualifiers. My bankroll has gotten about $2,000 and stayed there. I've been kinda bored with the cash games lately and will probably stick to the SNG qualifiers for a while. Playing $7+1 is cheap and the competition seems to be pretty weak. I'll probably mix in some $22 SNG's just keep it interesting.
