1) buying in short is not a bad plan for losing players, but is a definite hindrance to winning players
2) why, if you know that you are underbankrolled, would you cash out and continue to play underbankrolled
A - To see if I could do it again.
B - That $50 is more useful in my bank account than my poker account at the moment.

I'm just checking that I'm not a losing player before I buy in with the full buy-in.

Thanks for the advice. After that initial withdrawal I'm building up my bankroll again and won't withdraw it this time. The only MTTs I've played are freerolls, but I think they're good practice. I won't buy into any without a bigger bankroll and a few successes in the freerolls.

I'll have a look at Poker Tracker and see how it treats me, as well.
