Sick 2nd But A Chunk

2nd/229 £27 game for £1,480 (1st was £2,303)

Had my luck which u need for this type result but also feel apart from 1 bad call i played as solid as ive been doing lately. Saying that i was very unlucky against a nutcase heads up, i knew he would play aggressive but his crazy overbetting the first 3 hands made me know there wasnt gonna be many flops. We only lasted the 11 hands below:

Started 228k vs 345k at only 6k bb.

1) allin 66 vs A2std holds up
2) i top up 89 he allin i fold
3) i fold J9 to his allin
4) i top up J9 and pay a minimal amount on 95587 board , he has 95
5) he allin (160k now) i fold J2
6) i top up J9 and he bluffs small into me on a QJ310A board with 75
7) he allin 155k with K8std, i snap call AQstd but king comes on river :(
8) he allin, i let K7std go reluctantly
9) he top up and i move in K7std this time
10) i fold 52off
11) he raises to 30k, i move allin 258k with A9off and he instant calls with Q4std. Queen comes i still have outs on the turn of any ace or club (to leave him on 55k) but the river is a blank.

Im left with i dunno what emotions. Im so mixed up not to have won against that but i do consider anything above a £1000 to be a significant win which i desperately needed. Also i think i would happily have took 2nd with 10 left. I was lying in 2nd/10 and it was so deepstacked so its not the worst result by any means.

Just 2 more games tonight so i aint burnt out, ok stack in 40k which i subbed to earlier and smallish mpp freeroll on interpoker. Did play couple other cheap/free win only games earlier too. first one for $1500 package and lost with nuts to go 3/40ish half way in. other one i lost AK vs 55, split AQ vs AJ, lost QQ vs 88 and finally lost 88 vs KJ. I was a monster chipleader before all that and all of those were decent pots so was a bit annoyed not to at least freeroll into the final table with chance of $3000 package up for grabs.
