Yesterday, over the course of about 2 hours, I turned $6 on Black Chip Poker into $60. I accomplished this playing .02/.05 PLO and $5 PLO HU Hyper Turbo's.
I lost it all back in about 2-3 hours by stepping up to .10/.25 PLO like a damn fool who's never heard of bankroll management.
Please troll me....

Sorry man, that sucks. If you wanted to move up, maybe 5cent 10 cent. However, going broke is something that is quite common among lots of players.

I don't know if I'd say there's "NO" BRM, but it is minimal. BRM strategies generally focus on not playing in levels above a certain percentage of your bankroll - but if you've only got $40, the sites don't offer tourneys for $0.40 (usually) except the almost purely luck-based ones like hyperturbos.

bankroll management requires discipline - and poker is about discipline and patience - so bring that over to you money too

Bankroll management strategy is dependent on how good you are. Obviously, the better you are the less bankroll management you need, if you are a -EV player then no amount of bankroll management will save you. Even having 1000 buy ins will go "bye bye".
Before you decide how many buy ins you need, figure out how good of a player you are. Do you study? Do you go to websites and look at the percentages, the strategies, and ready up on whatever you can get your hands on? Or do you just play for the shits and giggles. It's not about ego, it's about work.
The stakes you played were simply too high, for any good player. You should have waited till you had at least 100$.Your hole cards are the least important factor in Texas hold'em.
