wow, building a bankroll with really no money is hard. I guess you have only 2 possibilities now, as long as your bankroll is soo short: 1) You keep playing freerolls until a normal BRM-System can be used 2) Go for your shot and try to get lucky with the small BR, as you cant have any BRM anyway with only few money
Anyway, i wish you best of luck. Keep us informed!

in freeroll you play without carrinng about something...hard work comes when you play on money...this is another stage in our "poker life"....first thing you should learn is the same thing as in freerolls...dont think that you put some money in the game...if during the tournament or sng you fall in this trap of money...will be the end of your bankroll...
If you are in a luck streak, you don't need any bankroll management advice Just joking. Depending on your game target you should pay a buyin that represents a % of your bankroll. For instance, if you play sng, conservative theory says that you can pay a buyin (fee included) up to 2% of your bankroll. In tournaments, you can apply the same or a little more aggressive, a 5% of your bankroll.

if you play cashgames listen to the advice above, if like me you play stgs, if I am low or on a downswing I play DON STGs , its a grind but you can slowly improve your roll, by a grind I mean the last time I was low it took me 3 months to get enough to start playing my usual 5-10$ stgs , before I play 5-10$ stgs my roll is at least 100$ , which by strick BRM is not enough but strict BRM is more for cashgame players who if not using BRM can lose there whole roll in 1 hand.

first of all, congratulations for the winnings. and even more congratulations, that you also consider, that it was not only skill, but also luck. this shows, you have really a great potential as you are realistic. stay away from cash tables. the best thing is low stack sng, single tables. play there tight, and you will have sucess and a stabile bankroll. Good luck

If you have at least 10$ then it's perfect. You can buyin for 0.40c on NL02 and apply a shortstack strategy. You'll have 25 buyins which is decent bankroll management.
For a SNG limit you should have about 50 buyins, but you can try DON or headsup for less variance.

DONT PLAY CASH TABLES! Only sng! If you have less then 20$ play 1$sngs one table at time max 9plrs and if you have some skill (and if you dont have less then 7 or 8$) you can manage to build your bankroll. Just try to play best you can and NEVER play for more then 1$. If you dont have skill all advices of this world cant help you
