Since I've had no money in my account to play with for a couple of weeks ago, and trying to save money up to pay off some debts. Decided that playing poker for a lot of deposits was a definite no no for a few weeks maybe a few months.
So I think I had about $0 maybe 50 cents in my account and a load of FPP's on Pokerstars.
Went from $0 - $5.50 playing a $0.10 cent MTT from some freeroll winnings (a number of small cashes in freerolls).
Managed to get to 8th in the $.10 cent tournament which gave me about $5.50.
So I went up from freerolls and $0.10 MTT's to the 360 player MTT SNG's and got up to $15.
Then last night I got a decent cash in the 100 FPP weekly tournament shooting my bankroll right up $53.
Decided that maybe the reason I was losing so much was bad bankroll management that and maybe sitting out too much and playing on my phone too much half way through tourneys (sometimes I used to end up starting a tourney on my computer and end up playing in bed on my phone and falling sometimes falling asleep embarrassing I know).
Anyway i think I'm going to move up to the $0.25 90 player tournaments and aim to double my bankroll to $100. Is this a good idea or should I go up to higher stakes at this point?
I only want to play MTT SNG or MTT's as part of this challenge. Any advice would be appreciated thanks.
Bit harsh isn't it, only one reply and it's a negative one, disappointed, pro's have done this before tried to build a bankroll from nothing so why give a response like that, only looking for advice.

The above to post are a little harsh.... A job is a good idea for sure tho. I did a similar BR management challenge with my buddy. We have a shared BR and started with $20 (not exactly $0 but similar). We ended up getting it to about $200 in 2 months grinding 45/90/180 using proper BRM (starting from 0.25 and mving up to $2 180s. Worked out well and a 20 BI downswing is nothing because the BR could handle it. Anyways GL.
