Hello guys, I've been playing poker on and off at the local casino for years,but never really took it seriously. I realized that I've been playing the wrong way pretty much the whole time and I also realized that I don't even have close to the bankroll needed to play live. It's obvious I have to stick to online and that's where I will stay.
Anyway, I finally deposited my first 40 dollars in Carbon and registered for a $5.50 dollar multi-table tournament. I registered a bit late and there was about 300 players left when I joined. I played it safe and passive only stealing pots on position and folding when it wasn't worth the investment on a raise/re-raise. I made it all the way to heads up and it was heads up for about 15 minutes until this happened:

Not sure what to think, I stood up from my chair and when I saw that river my heart melted. I don't think I could have done much about that, but oh well... those two 10s have been in my head all day.
Now my question is this... from that tournament that I invested 5 dollars in I got 240 for placing 2nd. I really enjoy playing multi-tournament tournaments or at least I think I do, lol. Would it be better for me to grind 5/10 multi-table (cash games) at this point with 300 dollar bankroll or should I keep playing multi-table tournaments?
