I'm waaaaaaay late on getting into this thread, but I will comment on a few things I read along the way (each of these could be it's own discussion):
1. Stack and bankroll are not the same thing. We should all try to be more xlear which one we are talking about. If your bankroll is $300, you should NOT be playing $3/$6. $1/$2 would probably be ok, but any pro will tell you that you should be playing $.50/$1. (300 BBs). As for your stack, sit with whatever you like. I always chose the default, but to each their own.
2. It is very possible to lose 50 BBs in one session (especialy if you are multi-tabling), an that doesn't mean you are an idiot or should quit poker. Aeq thinks he has all the answers, but he doesn't. Which brings us to #3...
3. Don't let Lou's attitude problem ruin this forum for you (Thank you rchamberlin for posting the instructions on how to block someone). Just ignore him, and enjoy the constructive criticism and feedback offered by literally everyone else who has posted in this thread.
Hang in there, Brian. Talk with ChipFish. Find and plug those leaks... and don't get over your head with regard to your bankroll.
