Another mid game loss

Game 6: $11 entrance fee, 10 player sit and go, Speed.

Early Game:
This is an aggressive table, lots of all-ins very early on. Nobody is out yet but a couple of players only have 600 chips of less.

Dealt two aces, and bet very high. Two callers and I am all in. One player shows Ace, Queen and one a pair of Queens. Virtually an unbeatable hand in this case and it proves to be the case as I knock the first player out and become chip leader.

The table has become desensitized to all ins. Any great hands come up now and its an instant all in as its likely someone will call at the moment.

Dealt a Queen, Jack suited. There are a couple of raises before me. I decide to fold and the flop proves this decision to be correct. Another two players are eliminated in this hand.

Dealt a pair of fives and try to limp into the pot. Nothing comes up and I fold to the first bet.

Dealt an Ace, Four suited. Again limp into the pot and King, Jack and Ten show. I only have a 16% chance of hitting a queen so I fold to the first bet. One other calls and the queen does not come up.

Two fours are dealt, but the blinds are quite high now. With seven players left this is simply not worth calling.

Dealt a Queen and a Jack. One player only has 460 chips left and goes all in. I am not going to make the same mistake again so this time I fold. The flop makes this decision correct as two players are eliminated.

Mid Game:
My Queen and King is beaten by an Ace, Six and there goes half of my chips.

King and Ten suited is dealt and I bet the pot. I am raised and only have 250 chips left so have to call. Knocked out by an ace rag. Seems to be a recurring theme.
