TBH a lot of pros dont follow proper BRM.
 
Many pros simply went to vegas, won a big tournament and thought 'hey this poker thing could work for me'
 
They got a bit more luck over the next couple of years, a couple more big wins as they developed their poker skills and before long they became the stars they are now.
 
However for every success story here there a a thousand suckout stories.  BRM is simply a means to an end.. and that is to keep you playing for as long as possible without adding moey to your bankroll from other sources.
 
If you are a millionaire.. BRM is less important.
If you play very low stakes.. again its less important because to top up your bankroll dont actually cost that much.
 
I 'define' a bankroll as an amount of money that you couldnt replace within a week or two from other sources, other than loans!  So, whilst you can apply BRM to $20 .. $20 dosnt really count as a BR either so you can be much looser with it. However as the BR begins to grow, the figure becomes more difficult to replace. So BRM becomes more important. 
 
You shouldnt look at BRM as something that keeps you out of of big soft games (although it does) rather its a stratagy that allows you to deal with varience.  After all badbeats occur in soft games too.  
 
If you stick to BRM, it really dosnt matter if you win or loose your next buyin... ever!!
