I desperately need help with online bankroll, I deposited 50 dollars into my Americas card room account wont a 12 dollar buy in in first place got me up to 450 then won 300 more on a 1/2 table then had my whole bankroll of almost 800 on a 5/10 table and suffered a really bad beat, now im broke again, what levels can i afford to play when I have 800 in my account in cash games and in tourneys? Please help

BRM is staying with in the max buy-in in ring games and MTTs. With 50 buy-ins you should not be playing any game above 10NL. 800 / 50 = $16.00. You should always have 50 buy-ins or 25 buy-ins before moving to the next level, so a run of badbeats and variance does not kill your BR
Even in 100NL you only had 8 buy-ins

For tourneys they say you should have 100 buy ins, for sng´s 30-50 buy ins.

25% of your BR on one shot, one opportunity - DOOOOOODE!!!!!
You need to wipe clean anything you might think and start from scratch or you're going to be in for one hell of a roller coaster ride.

BRM isn't even your biggest issue here imo, you don't belong in the games you're playing if you're having to ask this question. You would be properly rolled for 25NL(.10/.25), but you would most likely get rolled over there too.

I feel like this is either a level or a one post/never come back OP, but if this is all true, start out much lower.

Yep that would be right MTT's have a higher level of variance in them, tho you can set it at 50 buy ins if you want, that looks right for SNG's.

Tho i have to admit i've played some 5.50 tourneys with 50 buy ins.

There's a significant difference between taking occasional shots at the next level up and moving up. My preferred method for taking shots is to win enough at my usual level to pay for for 1 or 2 higher buyins.
