Kev it took me a while to realise that although it's nice to be chip leader it doesn't really matter until the last 2 tables or so, and even then it can change very quickly.
I have found that in any tournament the people at the top leapfrog each other, so if you find yourself dropping down the leaderboard don't panic. Don't worry about your position, just how you are playing.

then you get hands that you raise on JJ or QQ someone raise's you on the flop with a king there but rubbish otherwise. So you fold only to see all they had was Ace..Something you could of beat..

That boils down to watching a player and deciding if they are bluffing or not - if someone rarely bluffs and makes a raise to represent a bigger pair then you could either call his raise or fold. If someone bluffs a lot then you make a decision there and then, but even bluffers are allowed good cards occasionally. BUT I tell myself that if I get bluffed off a hand that it was a good fold anyway.
What you must remember about pocket pairs Kev, is that they are only strong
before the flop. After they are just a pair, and could be beaten by any 2 raggy pair.
Not a complete solution, but one to help you progress I hope.
