Good job so far, but how well you do over a 4 tournament stretch doesn't say much about your ability. I've cashed in 10 tournaments in a row and I've busted out of 10 tournaments in a row, so if you pick and chose where to look, I'm either the best poker player in the world or the worst :PAnyway, let your bankroll determine the stakes you are playing in. Never but into a 2-3 table tournament where you don't have at least 40 buy-ins for the particular stakes. Double that for the 90 player and up tournaments.So, for example, to be properly bankrolled for the $5 18-27 man tournaments, you should have a minimum of $200 in your account.Another approach is to set a base budget, then use your profits over than budget to buy into bigger tournaments. So say you set your base budget at $200 and are playing the $5 tournaments. Once you have $210 in your account, you can then use that $10 to buy into a $10 tournament. If you lose, fine go back to the $5 tournaments until you have $210 again. If you cash, then keep playing at the higher limits.Just make sure to have an adequate bankroll for the games you play with your base budget so that you can weather a bad streak, unless you don't mind depositing again if you bust out.Good luck.
