Managed to get to my second big final table and cash since focusing more on online poker.
After what felt like a really long and enjoyable heads up against a fellow Brit there were two big folds I made and wanted to get peoples opinions. If I was wrong then they cost me 1st place. One of the key hands is here below and the other I will post later.

Two reasons why I folded. One, people don"t usually talk about their hands unless they are strong and I had seen him do this earlier to an opponent when he had the nuts. Also he very rarely bet big on any street. Just felt very polarising.
I was also not feeling very well at all and was very tired and being conscious of that I think I started to tighten up.
What do people think and thanks as always for the feedback.
