When this happens to me (the known bad play, not drinking myself out of a Yankees game), it's usually late in a tourney when I start getting ancy and play a trouble hand preflop. The second my chips go in (either calling a raise from the BB or opening with it in MP), I know it's going to be trouble. And sure enough, I hit just enough of it to force me to stick around.
The thing is, when I do go broke in these situations, I'm kinda glad... because I know I played badly and I deserved to lose, so hopefully the next time that situation comes up, I'll be more likely to avoid it.
