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?

Thanks.

The hand looks completely standard. His AI raise pre 50BB effective stacked suggests that he doesnt have a monster, so the call is the correct play here. Everyones been there and it does make you feel annoyed, but there will be times that you draw out on opponents, so try and keep that in mind.
As for what game to play MTTs will have alot more variance, but are probably more exciting than grinding cash tables hours on end.
