San Pablo:

Good: 1-1-2 is one of the softest games around.
Bad: They rake $4 even if it's folded around pre.

Lucky Chances:

Haven't played 1-1-2 in years. But really soft from when I remember it. It was $100 min, but I believe they changed it to $100 min to $200 max.

Hayward Palace:

Good: 1-2-2 blinds offer good play. $100 is the min buy-in.

Bad: Kill and double kill makes the bring in $10 or $20 instead of $5 and then the game becomes much bigger--probably bigger than your bankroll will allow. Sketchy neighborhood.

Grand:

Haven't played their game in a year and half. $200 buy-in $2/$2/$3 blind structure. Pretty good game when I played. Not bad to take a shot or two if you're willing.

Garden City or Bay 101:

Never played their spread limit games, so no comment.

$2000 is kind of short, so you're probably restricted to the $100 or $200 buy-ins for now. Hope this helps.
