Good Job. Luck was part of your success and its not good to rely on the long run. I've went up 1200$ in 1hour b4 and I've also lost 2500$ in 45min b4. You will learn to play within your bankroll in the future so that you don't risk all ur money. since u have about 250$ atm I suggest playing 10c/25cNL and putting only 12.50$ at the table. This is called the Half buyin strategy. You buyin for half the full amount. Play at a certain limit only if you have 20 the buyin ur buyin for. Basically play at the limit only if u have 1000BB's to it. If you want play BigStackStrategy Have 2000BB's and if you want to play short stack strategy have at least 400BB's. GL bro.

Good words, you are right! Bankroll management is a very important thing in poker. But at the begining when you win a few dollars in a freeroll, you can't do a correct bankroll management. You need patience and LUCK to increase your stack! After you reach a normal amount for bankroll then you can start playing correctly. But if you start playing with more money (maybe you deposit), it's a different story.
Congrats all though the BRM is shocking taking all the money to the table with you. you could of very eaisly lost it! just so happens short term luck was with you on this occassion! drop down a few limits!

yes i had a run of luck but you just have to play safe lol i like to start high blinds keeps me going and then once i have eather built my bank roll or lost it lol i can enter the high stakes tourny's and sit 'n' go's and plus i usually don't do it but only reason i joined table with high big blinds was because all the other tables were full and there aint much choicr of tables on there lol
