FT coolers and new "style" for cash games

so i played in the $5 $1k guaranteed tourney and made it to the final table which is pretty good BUT..... AQ is usually second best to AK on an A47flop and i busted 6th for $65. What pisses me of most about busting deep in tourneys is that it is always to someone who should have been out along time ago. There were three people who would just not bust it was ridiculous. The guy who busted me folded his bb when they were 1k/2k and he only had 4k left then pushes 74o from his sb and obv flop of 74x to double and then he doubles a couple of more times when finally he has the CL with 13 to go. The guy who was CL at the time had 150k in chips and second had 98k, well the ss miracle guy (his name was icky734) doubled through him every time and then finally he busted him out in 11th when icky called big stacks all in w A3diamonds and big stack had AA, well AA is never good to running straight flush cards lol. It was icky and some person, im assuming it was a girl because they had a pic of the guy from greys anatomy on it was making horrible plays but obv gave someone a bj to stay in it also. She was giving bad beats worse then the guy at my table and when i busted they were both CLs. Oh well, at least im making it deep consistently and im sure a big win isn't to far from now.
Also i played some .50/1 and i have been trying a new "style" i guess you can call it. I normally love set mining in cash games and limping to trap w strong hands but today i sat w 50 and ended up leaving w $147. The only thing i did different was not limping, if i wanted to play a hand i was raising it 3x-5x depending on my position. I figured that if my hand wasn't good enough to raise with i wasn't going to play it which seemed to work pretty well. Also i gave my roommate $50 more today and he actually didn't lose it all in one session...he is down to $18 but what can i do???lol
