How is my play?

Your bankroll is nowhere near big enough. At some stage you will get the inevitable bad run and lose your tiny bankroll. In fact, you could lose it surprisingly quickly. Consider this: your bank is $400 and you bet $60 on a high count - you are dealt 88 versus the dealer's Ace - If you are playing Wong Table A4, or similar, you will insure and then split the 88s - assume you draw 3 on each 8 - you will double down on both - you now have $270 on the table. What happens if the dealer beats you? Only $130 left. Assume the count remains high. Do you bet high again or do you halve your bet? It doesn't matter greatly because if you draw a similar hand and lose it, you'll be broke! Broke in one and a half hands! Wow! It may never happen, of course 
I think you would be wise to play off a higher bankroll - a $10 minimum bet needs a bankroll of at least $2000 otherwise fluctuations will wipe you out. Leaving the table at -1 is good but perhaps you ought to try joining tables with less players. When the count goes good, the less players eating up those good cards the better - the more for you!
