With Cash games, (for me at least) at the lower limits, you get a lot more bad beats just because even though you may wait and only play solid hands, chances are that the fish you are playing with aren't, and aren't going to take notice that you are a tight player, so your big hands like AK and QQ, etc are going to end up getting busted by 94os.

Also, one thing TP told me when I went broke was to "never sit with more than 5% of your bankroll" which with a lower bankroll (mine was $30), 5% ends up being like 1.50 which is about what you buy in for at the 1cent/2cent tables. and it isn't fun to grind out like 80 cents an hour. If you play the 1.20 tournaments though, you are only "sitting" with about 4% of your bankroll (again, a $30 bankroll, I don't know what yours is at right now.)

So yeah, I busted out already. I was trying to build my bankroll by playing cash games (mixing it up) but was only making like $1 an hour, so I sat with my whole bankroll to play a higher limit, lost a few hands, and went bust playing catch up.
