Bankrollmanagment covers badbeats. If your not making it there a step up would be a bad move, you must learn to cash in off the donks befor trying to cash in of good players, just play your cards right and if you lose that way then you can blaim the donks. keep trying GL. Or you could change the game you play, say ring games to sit and gos.

f**k bankroll managment, play what you want man, my motto is if you arnt prepared to lose your stack, you cant expect to win one, one worth winning anyway, thats reason im broke anyway, if you loose just reload man. lol

Yep, the lower levels are full of donks. Try to play at tables with a lower number of players. The greatest strength of the donks is their number. Someone will always hit something. So keep the number of opponents low
The thing I hate the most on the micro tables I play, is that even if I make a 3 or even 4 bet raise with a proper hand to weed out the field, one donkey calls and automaticly the rest will call it to off course one of them then gets his set or flops a flush 9 high or somethinig, but hey it's poker and next time it's me who hits it I guess .

you could maybe do proper bankroll management if you were deciding to use a short stack strategy in full rings of medium stakes tables? like bigfoot said you still gotta learn 1st but if you really really wanna move up you could maybe to this

If you are really good player and you are rather patient then you will choose bankroll management.
