Best low NL stakes in Bay Area?

[pfapfap]

So my live bankroll is only about $2k, but I have other sources of income, so I want to take a shot beyond my usual home games. I've done NL in cardrooms a few times here and there, but I'm not really familiar with the different games.

What game's good for a beginner with that bankroll? I know it's not deep enough were I living off of it, but I'm hoping it's good to ride out at least a bit of variance. San Pablo and LC have such steep blinds and opening. I liked Garden City's $3 bring-in, as that's a significant difference with a $100 buyin, but that's somewhat far for me. How's the Grand? Or Hayward? Isn't there a place up in Napa, too?

Where's the best action? Time of day/week?

Thanks for any tips... (and anyone looking to mentor...? [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img])
