[$4.40 Tournament With Aa]

I have no reads on this table, this was the 3rd hand since the $4.40 tourney started.I could have bet more preflop (actually considering just moving all in and hoping someone would call with AK or pocket 10, etc)I could have bet / raised more on the flop, but I felt that I had the better hand 100% and that I should try to induce the most money out of this hand by just calling and playing sneakyI felt that I did well on the turn and was facing his 2 pair or setRiver, I felt that he became desperate and was pot committed into making a big semi-bluff with his hand.What would you have done differently?Tried to convert but it isnt working.Blinds 10/20 VernonME is UTG1Dealt to VernonME [Ac Ad]VernonME: raises 40 to 60All folds to the BBLIMPATIENT: calls 40*** FLOP *** [6h 3c Js]LIMPATIENT: checks VernonME: bets 60LIMPATIENT: calls 60*** TURN *** [6h 3c Js] [Ah]LIMPATIENT: bets 140VernonME: raises 160 to 300LIMPATIENT: calls 160*** RIVER *** [6h 3c Js Ah] [9h]LIMPATIENT: bets 500VernonME: raises 580 to 1080 and is all-inLIMPATIENT: calls 580 and is all-inPoker Stars VernonME

[Cash Games Or Sitngos?]

alright thanks for the advice, gave me a little more confidence to stick with the sitngos, and my sn is VernonME if ya wana sit with me once in awhile

[Cash Games Or Sitngos?]

Hi, I've recently joined Stars and deposited 50 dollars as a micro player, hopefully i can get to low-medium blinds soon. I've climbed my way to 120 dollars but am facing a problem. By playing cash games, (.01/.02 and .02/.05), I might have made around 15-20 dollars, but the rest of my money have come by SitnGo winnings (1 table, 9 ppl for $5.50). Now I want to know what I should do, continue winning small amounts thru cash games or keep risking 5 dollars in SitnGos. I dont really like my cash game, I cant seem to steadily increase my chip stack. I usually lose a good amount of my buy in money, than go all in (at the right time) and win back my money. As for the SitnGo's, i feel quite confident in winning, i have cashed out in 1st place 6 out of 8 times, but im afraid if i go on a bad streak, the 5 dollar buy ins for the sitngos will amount to a big loss. Should i continue with my lucky streak in these sitngos or try to play it safe and play cash games? tyand on a side note, what blinds should i be playing if i get to a $500 BR, what is the ratio?

[Which Sites Can I Deposit In?]

With the new US law, it seems to be hard to find sites that allows people to continue depositing money in an account. Could anyone help me find a gambling site where I can deposit money and start up? Also, which sites would be the best place for a beginning at cash games/sit n go's to start at? I heard bodog's would bankrupt me in a heartbeat, so any other sites?
