If you play enough times you might just find a decent starting hand in the first hand of a cheap single table tourney:
*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to FrankNagaiJr [Jc Jh]
And you might just limp as 3rd to act, since there always seems to be one person at these events who will raise Q8o, K2s, or even 92o.
Dealt to FrankNagaiJr [Jc Jh]

And you might just catch a perfect flop for a cheap table where there always seems to be someobody who loves weak aces
*** FLOP *** [Js 4s Ad]
And if you make a micro-bet, certainly somebody will give you a little bit of action for your nutty set with their weak ace.
