Theres a lot of advice I could give you. Would be easier if you had specific questions, but I can try to just do a vague overview of advice.

1. bankroll management doesn't just happen. you have to really want it.
2. set goals and stick to them
3. its really hard to use bankroll management on less than $100, but the bigger your roll gets the more you have to protect.
4. rule of thumb have 100 buyins in your roll for a tourney. So buy in with 1% of your roll or less
5. use the filters in carbon to show only the games within your bankroll (example $0 to $5)

I always recommend being more willing to go broke and take shots when you have under $100. Once you bink $300-$500+ though be very strict about your bankroll management. If you want to do what I did, I only played freerolls until my roll was big enough to start playing. It took me 2 months to freeroll to $400. A normal person who doesnt play every single day could prolly reach $200 in 5-6 months.

This is really great advice Sharking, especially #2. I find that when I set goals for myself, it keeps me from being so affected by circumstances and variance.
