Default [x] Partial Busto [ ] Robusto

Yesterday I had $615 on UB. Now, this is not bad because I started with $20 a few months ago. I took out $300 for part of a trip to New York, the was rest to be paid by future poker money. Well, I have only played .10/.25 and .25/.50 at the highest prior to today, but I was so bored of the low stakes that I tried $1/$2 after losing $70 today in various things (MTTs, cash, SnGs...)

I sat with $60 on two tables. I got AA first hand, everyone folds. QQ next hand on same table, everyone folds. KK next hand, I raise to $6 and one guy who min-raised folds. Yes! On the other table I got JJ with about $41 left. Someone min-raised and some one else re-raised to $6. I just call, these guys were very aggressive. Flop is perfect. AJ5 rainbow. I'm UTG and these guys are real aggressive, someones gotta have an ace so I check. Guy behind me checks and original raiser bets about pot. I re-raised all in (about $8 more I think) then guy behind me shoves for $100 something, and other guy calls that. Turn and River were nothing special. Guy behind me had A5 for top and low pair and other guy had AJ for top two. I took my $125 and ran.

Later that night I sat again at a 1/2 table. I pushed 2nd hand into a 3x BB raise with AK, he insta called my all in ($36). Flop is xQx turn and river blank. You know what he had QK. I eventually called a huge bluff with about $80 in front of me holding mid pair but he caught a K on the river, that happened again. Then I lost to set over set. Anyway, I had $215 left. Of course the best choice was a $100 HU SnG. I had him crushed the whole time (double his stack most of it) but he slow played QQ and KK to catch up to me. Eventually with high blinds it was push or fold every hand. I had AJ and pushed, he called with AQ and had me covered. Now, I have $110, what is my best move. .10/.25, .50/1, 1/2 or MTTs only? I'm dumb and said something racist here thus giving the mods the excuse to ban me they've been looking for. Thanks.
