Default What Do You Do With A WEENIE Roll?

Alright ... I've very frustrated that I don't have a comfortable bankroll. I have a weenie bankroll. From here on out (throughout this thread and all other threads) I'm going to call my weenie bankroll, "eggroll." I can't call it a "bankroll" without laughing, and I think eggroll suits it fine.

I made a $65 deposit about a week and a half ago. Maybe two weeks. I began playing CHEAP NL games to build the eggroll. I dunno about you, but these games are desperately boring. 5c/10c nl actually makes me want to kill myself. (This is, btw, the absolute lowest limit I will play ... LOL.)

So, after going up $10, down $10, etc, a few meager MTT finishes, I found myself right around $70. Then I began playing $1/2 6M/LHE. I know this breaks all the rules regarding BR management, but I don't have a BR, I have an eggroll.

I knew the swings could be ferocious, but I'm a gambler. Let it ride.

Over the course of two days, I got up to right around $114. Grinding up from $70, I'm lovin it! Last night wasn't so good. I kept getting chinned, and I'm sure you know the routine:

AQ v. A6 ... Ace on the flop ... 6 on the river.
My two pair gets counterfietted on the river.
My AK (K on the flop) runs up against AA.

I don't feel like I played anything horribly wrong, but I just kept coming up second best. All these beats caused me to lose just about half my stack.

So. Here I am. I have just about $60 on Stars... and I really don't know what to do with it. LOL. Any suggestions?

Here's what I'm kicking around...
1 ~ Sit at a full $2/4 game and hope for the best
2 ~ Sit at a short $2/4 game and hold on
3 ~ Play $10NL and try to build
4 ~ Give another shot at $1/2 6max
5 ~ $10+1 SnGs

Before giving your suggestion... realize this:
-I don't have a high tolerance for $10NL, but I can play it. It's hard to play this limit when you've played $2/4 NL before, ya know?
-Playing $2/4 w/ $60 is stupid, but it's a shot. I have no problem gambling. This isn't my life's bankroll, but if I lose, I'll just be out of the game for a month or two.
-SnGs used to be my bread and butter ... now, I can't remember the last time I played one.

Note: I welcome all comments / opinions from most people. Please, no stupid comments from stupid people... I'm not in the mood.
