    A Story and Advise?

    With the help of Jaytodd I now have a brankroll to play with on Juicy. (thanks) So today started off pretty shitty. First I decided to try a $1.50 double or nothing SNG. Which I unfortunately ended up the bubble boy. Next I tried a $2 DoN this round I went all on the first hand with a set of queens only to lose to a set of aces (go figure). So after that I decided to chill for a while at a BCP freeroll offered here at PokerOwned.com ended up placing 5th for $0.94.

    Feeling pretty good about BCP I then again decided to try my luck @ juicy only this time .2/.4 cash games. After mistakenly joining a limit game then leaving after the first good hand I began searching through the cash tables for rooms that weren't going crazy betting $0.30 cents preflop. Once a suitable room was found I sat down and sat out for a round or two to get a feel for how each player was playing. 4 players in particular were quite tight and only getting into pots in position against looser players. After taking a few mental notes on goes the game. The blinds probably went around the table 2 full times before I played anything and when I did it just happen to be AA against a new player who had just joined a hand or two before. Luckily this guy didn't know what he was getting into he bet the flop big then the turn and finally I decided to put him all in on the river which he called and lost.

    After that I decided to try and steal a few flops unsuccessfully, loosing about half of what I'd won earlier. Yet again I get a monster hand UDT+1 Pocket Kings 1H 1D bet 3x bb the whole table folds except one caller. Board comes two hearts and a spade (I don't actually remember the cards except for the A of hearts) he barrels into me .30 I call, 4th street comes another heart he double barrels for .90 I flat call. Thinking to myself at this point oh no what are the odds of runner runner hearts cuz this guy has a flush. The heavens open another heart drops I check hoping for him to value bet himself but no luck Ace high nut flush. Saved by the river .

    So with two $2-4 wins I'm about break even. Having started with $12.77 then a draw down to $6 I'm now back to $12.

    Obviously I can't expect to be this lucky all the time so here's where I need advise. Cash games so far with my limited amount to time spent at the tables seem to be a hell of a lot easier than DoN SnG's. Do you agree? If you were me would you keep playing cash games or try DoN SnG's again or maybe even a small tournament?

    One other question, Do juicy tournaments not pay deep? All the $0.50-1.50 tournaments I'd checked only paid top 3 or 5. None paying 10 positions.

    Maybe a bit long winded but I do hope you enjoyed reading.
