I've been playing in small limit tourneys and nl tourneys all night (single table) and i've been quite successfull so far, only one bad finish, one 1st finish, but my problem is that i've had about 3 2nd place finishes, if anyone can offer some heads up tips it would be greatly appreciated.

Fnord or Ripp im speaking to you two, as you seem to be the resident gurus in limit and NL respectively.
