Ok, its been a tough last few weeks since I won the $1,500 guarantee at Royal Vegas. I cashed about 400 and have managed to dwindle that remaining $200 or so down to $20.75 in varouius ways. My best games are 7 card stud and Pot Limit Holdem. I am good at NL Hold'em too. I have played ALOT (meaning to many) sit-n-go's in the past. Here are my questions guys:1. What should I do with the remaining $20.75? I want want the best bet to not go bust again. I am tired of it.2. In order, I consider myself a tournment player followed by sit-n-go's, and then cash games. Is cash games really the only way to go here? What are your opinions of sit-n-go's? 3. If cash is the way to go, I need some advice on how to play the lower limit games on Royal Vegas to get going (keep in mind there are alot of European players that play there).Man, I need some serious help here. You are welcome to IM or email me too. Thanks guys.nbliss16

RV offers micro-limit poker, correct?If so, then:1. Take some of the $20.75 and see if you can't learn a new game. Try out some $.02/$.04 Limit Hold 'Em, some Omaha Hi/Lo, or whatnot. If you don't want to do that, find your best game and sit down at a level where $20.75 is an adequate bankroll.2. This is really player-specific. I know most of us here are cash game players, but is it really the only way to go? Of course not. If you perform strongly in MTTs or Sit N Gos, then feel free to keep playing them. Would I try and build a BR with tourneys? No, but I'm far better at cash games than in tournies (And at limit games than NL/PL), so the cash games represent less of a risk for me.3. At micro-limits, which is probably what you're going to be playing with $20) I would think a strategy of "Wait for premium hands and jam the hell out of the pot when you get them" would work pretty well. Admittedly, it isn't a particularly entertaining way to play, but "proper" poker, sadly, is boring as hell 90% of the time (Although it should build your BR quickly).

Maybe the limit or pot limit hold em is the way to go here. I would like to build that way. I don't know. Maybe its time to admit I am not the greatest player in the world too. In tournments, I either win the whole thing or don't cash. It's an all or none thing. What pre flop player % should I look for in a limit holdem game? They are all like 70% or more. Ouch.Tough not to feel down now. Seems like I can never smell a set any more. What about the sit-n-go players here? What advice can I get from you guys?nbliss16
