i suck at heads up!

i've only been playing poker for about a month but i've been playing
5dollar sit and go's at empire lately and have been doing ok, even though i skunk holed 3 times in a row yesterday :oops:

however, i always finish 2nd, not first or third, just second. it's kinda annoying, and i feel like i really suck at heads up and could use some pointers. here is a hand history of heads up play

game 1
