Advice needed

Hi all . Was playing rounders in dream poker today at level 1 . I played twice and here's how it goes . :loon First game always in middle stack , didn't really take control of anything . Ran out of steam in the final 3 . Was heavily bombarded by the other 2 who obviously had more chips than me . Pocketed 9 10 That guy had J 10 Flop Q 9 10 I didn't go all in stupid me . Turn 8 And the rest is history .:wall 2nd game which just ended . Incidentally i was playing in the progressive cash table . Had pocketed 6s . Someone with pocket aces raised me . I called . Flop comes 8h Jh 6d . I raise the aces call and flop came Q c . Went all-in and he called . River was 6h . Hit quads . A cash pot of $200 . :clap :clap :clap :clap Back to the rounders game . At the same time , i had pocket aces on my table . Raised 3 times BB and was called by one caller . Flop came 10 K 3 . I betted huge , he called . Turn Q . I betted huge again , he called . River (Can't remeber) . Anyway , i won that pot and got chip leader position at about 4.7 k. Eventually , down to 4 players . Having being outplayed in a hand which i stupidly held on to , i was left with 2.2 k of chips with the lowest stack . the deadly card of 72 came to me . I went all-in knowing that i worshipped that hand like Pocket aces:loon :loon :loon :loon :loon . Someone with 99 called and the rest is history . :wall Despite this 2 rounds of games i played , i find that i can do relatively well at the start . In the middle not so , Pathetic ( YES Pathetic ) towards the end . Any idea how i can improve to actually clear level 1 ? Actually i was pi**ed off with the 2nd game . I clearly had a big chip lead , and yet i still went out 4th . :wall :wall :wall :wall Comments is needed . Thanks :cheers :cheers :cheers :cheers

Yes, don't bet heavy on your 72os, it's fine with a MTT. The guys were probably waiting for you to go all in on something and the chances were if one of them had a card he'd probably call you. I don't mean to sound patronising but you had enough chips to wait for a decent hand and could have tried the steal with something stronger.
