Since everyone loves the sharkscope graphs so much and you've mentioned my name a few times, search for bjsaust on stars and view the graph.
See those first 150 games? All at $1.20s. Thats a month or so of playing the lowest games available on stars and posting hands and tournaments on here to be reviewed because I was terribad.
From 150 to about 320 you have mainly $5.50s and $6.50s as my roll grew a bit, but still learning how it all works. Won a bit, lost it back. Still playing all within my BR though. Then after a couple months of posting hands and tournaments and reviewing my play AFTER all of that it triggers and up my graph goes. I could get those 320 games in because I used BRM and used FTR advice to get going.
Now search bjsaust on FullTilt. See now why we use BRM? I think I lost 25 buyins in 35 games. I wasnt playing that bad. Variance happens in SNGs (and poker in general). You take that downswing out and the graph still has an overall upward swing, but I needed solid BRM to ride it out.
Then I moved to cash because the swings sucked. Even then though, my cash graph took almost 10k hands before it started moving upwards, but again solid BRM let me ride those hands out while I learnt enough about cash to be a winning player and I've already had some swings that make me grateful I use BRM to ride them out.
