That is the kind of topic that poker sites make learning guides of.
In the academy section of the major online poker rooms there is always a semi or professional player that provides written or video content about this subject.

Google it.
I'll give you one example, my bankroll is just under $200, and I CAN'T play this $5 tournament I wanna play, real bad.

There are lots of different bank roll theories but the one common theme through them all is discipline. Set the rules you are going to work to and stick to them.

If your running bad, take a break. If your running good, play for a while.

yea i get a bit too keen after a big win joining every tourney available no matter the buy in..Its enjoyable at the time but yes the bankroll seems to deplete quickly.

one rule you should stick by to help maintain the bankroll is never hop on fulltilt after a long night at the pub!!! lol you may end up kicking yourself in the morning

Number one best rule I can offer for anyone trying to slowly grow or maintain a bankroll:

STOP PLAYING MULTI-TABLE TOURNAMENTS!!!!!!!

Seriously. MTTs are about as high-variance as poker gets. They're even worse than PLO in that regard. And you want probably... what, fifty or a hundred times the buy-in of your regular tournament in order to be properly rolled?

Start playing either cash games or SnGs and the swings should smooth out.

And by fulltilt, he means when she gets on the bed it fully tilts.

Shozam!
