Having trouble making it to mini-Step 3

[theredpill5]

I've been to step-2 3 times now. I have not only come up short all 3 times but finished lower than 5th which means I have to do step 1 all over again. I'm pissed. What do I need to know to finish at least in top 5 in step-2 ? Should I just sit around and wait ?

blinds were 100/200 . I was in BB with 88 and 645 chips left after I put in blind. One limper. I decided to push and he calls and shows JJ . What are the freaking odds that in a 6 handed game I run up against this ? Should I have pushed here or just waited until 1 more person goes out so I can at least play step 2 again and not have to go down to step 1.

The guy that won the step-2 got this in succession. I watched.

AK
AQ
AJ
JJ
QQ
QJs

Right in a row.

He had 200 chips left at 50/100. I had 1300 chips. I had 77 6-handed and raised to 300. He decided to push all-in with K6s and so I only had 15 more to call so I called. He hit a king. So I then wait until BB when I had 88 and then push again and same guy calls with JJ .

Then he proceeds to tell me how bad of a player I am. So was my play bad ? Would someone be willing to look at my tourney hands and let me know if there is anything that I could have done differently ?
