What place and how much did you cash in on the freeroll? (I assume you won one of them)
On the Full Tilt I can get to the top 100 around 50% of the time but bust between top 40-80...sucks to have put in 4 or 5+ hours of playing to bust out that close, lol. but oh well
Only $1 and not that high up.

We'll see how that goes, but I think my tourney play is much worse than ring table.
This was mainly how I built my roll. I suggest you play 1 at a time if you don't think you're a great tourney player (and post HHs in HA section), and don't multitable until you figure out that you can regularly beat those SNGs.
My .02 of course.

Lets just say I am confident enough in my play to go at these limits with my current BR.

So if I get 3 bad beats that I am all-in on, then I can move down in level. That is ery, ery unlikely to happen the way I play. (at least without gaining money while losing, which would even out at worst)

Being aware of the risk does not prevent the risk. With $42, you are almost rolled for $5max, which is almost enough to sustain a bad run.
The point is: one downswing at the stakes you're playing and your BR is gone in a flash. That simple.

Well, I didn't just hit it. I have had $$ (15+) in my account for about 4 - 5 days now.
Currently at $42 with 54FPPs.

To paraphrase somebody, "A pro wants to take $750 and make a profit of $75 by the end of the month, an amateur wants to take $25 and make a profit of $75 by the end of the month."

I have only had 1 non-winning session at .10 / .25 so far. (trips lost to river straight)
And I have been taking my bad beats quite well too (don't even think about them lol)
Thanks for all the advice though

I don't do crazy. I will admit I am playing .10 / .25 limits (and I am at $30 with 50FPPs now ^^). And I am not playing tight at all, here is my loosest session so far.
During current Hold'em session you were dealt 299 hands and saw flop:
- 33 out of 55 times while in big blind (60%)
- 27 out of 54 times while in small blind (50%)
- 83 out of 190 times in other positions (43%)
- a total of 143 out of 299 (47%)
Pots won at showdown - 33 of 60 (55%)
Pots won without showdown - 43

Well, I didn't build a huge bankroll, but I did build some-what of a bankroll starting at $0.
I think last month (or 2) I made a topic about how I will try and build a bankroll out of only freerolls.
Today I hit the $25 mark so I consider that I did it.
I am still playing, but I am playing smart. I am probably not doing proper BR management, but I am doing "smart for me" management so I won't lose the money even with 10+ bad beats consecutively.
Yay for freerolls
