Cash Games or SNGs?
Recently I started playing cash games again and I am finding that I like them more than SNGs for a few reasons.
1) They are time-friendly: I don't have to commit 2-3 hours to playing in them. If I only have an hour to play, that is not an issue with cash games.
2) They give me control over bad beats: I can leave a table if the cards aren't coming or if I am being outplayed. I don't lose a guaranteed amount of money in an entry fee.
3) They maximize winnings: Each chip that I win in a cash game represents real money. This means that I am actually getting value for each chip that I win.
4) The strategy: I love the way these are played! With unchanging blinds, I have to develop one solid strategy, not the 4 that I would in an sng or mtt.
What do you think?

Bad Beat Story
We all have bad beats, but some are definitely worse than others. I was sitting in 5th place or so in a 90man SNG on stars and everything is going well, then I get dealt AA and everything is going REALLY well. 3 of us are in the pot with one guy all in and the pot value somewhere around 23k.
The flop comes T 3 8, the most harmless looking flop you will ever see while holding pocket Aces. The guy to my right shoves, putting me all in and I insta-call to see that he has pocket tens. The turn and river come as blanks and his set beats my aces, knocking me out of a tournament that should have been a very easy cash.
The hand is here: http://www.pokerhand.org/?5167396 and it is sooooo ridiculous...
I'm sure there will be more to come, especially when I lose with pocket As.
Post your bad beat stories/hand histories in a comment; let's see who has the worst luck! :P

Oddly Enough, The Strongest Online Hands
I have come to the decision that pocket Qs and 8s are two of the best hands for online play, at least on PokerStars. For some reason, it seems as if these 2 hands will dominate pretty much anything, including pocket As. I cannot for the life of me explain this, but it just seems to be the case in my experience. Thoughts?
