Alright, so I've been playing at carbon for a 3 or so weeks now and have deposited 3 times, sadly. I'm not sure if the way I am going about it is right and want to know if I am depositing the right amount, or should stop playing cash games all together until I am up to 20-30BI?

So I deposit $25 each time, and on carbon, the lowest stakes for cash are 2/4nl meaning I have 6.25 BI. At times I can get an initial $4 to $22 on a two hour session. However, with that included and losing a couple $2.20 BI tourneys w/ R/A (=$6.60) or $3.30 for the $1.10 tourneys. Rendering me unable to absorb a big blow of variance.

I have found that I generally do pretty well in SnG's however, my ITM% at the moment is 57% (is that even good?)...

So my question is pretty open ended, I am not sure if I am making an excuse for going busto 3 times in a row (I most likely am).
So the question is as follows, should I deposit more next time? If so how much? Or can I stay with the same deposit, work my BR up w/ SnG's and then get back to 2/4nl when and if I am up to 20-30 BI.
In either case, your opinion and help would truly be appreciated!

I would say wait until you can start out with at least 10-15 BI. It's not unusual for the best players to go on 5-10 BI swings, so starting out with just 5BI is just too risky. Stick to some micro Sng's until your roll is able to withhold those BI swings. GL on the felts!!
