sngs are good too, if you can cash in 1 out of 3 then you will at least come close to breaking even by just cashing - not to mention those that you win outright will boost you up a lot - and with a 33% payout rate they are really good for the better than average player

there are lots of books and sites that discuss bankroll management - but you still have to be a solid player or you will always go broke eventually - becoming a better poker player is learning bankroll management, ;earning how to play well, and how bankroll management can affect the way you play - all skills intertwine and can have massive effects on each other
Actually, I would say never invest more than 1/100 to 1/50 of your bankroll . When you gamble 1/10 of it, you are almost guaranteed to go broke, as even the BEST players out there will have longer than 10 games downswings...
