You actually might be better off getting staked (then you'd have to stick within the parameter of what your backer had laid out for you and couldnt' deviate from the games you'd agreed upon).  Otherwise I think I'd just quit, lol  (seriously though.... it must be depressing to go busto... I've only had it happen on one online poker account and was/is on a site I hate and never play on there anyways).  I know of others who are really good players but go busto constantly.  I'm not sure what the driving force is.... some say we can become conditioned to losing... almost expecting it (or even addicted to it...the losing I mean).
I actually have the opposite concern/problem - - I'm a HUGE bankroll NIT and have often stayed playing in buyins too low for my bankroll and actually have better results in marginally higher buyin levels.  I fear moving up on account of a) going busto b) not being rolled for the games I want to play c) emotions are my worst enemy and I HATE losing
Going to take a shot at some marginally higher buyin MTTs online as I've got some  $75 tokens set aside on Fulltilt collecting dust.
Another weird thing for myself (just read something similiar in another thread on here somewhere)... in live tourneys I have no problem with spending $75 to $350 in a heartbeat but online I feel like it's mandatory to satellite into anything over $25 buyin.  It's insane,....  I hoard my online poker bucks like a security blanket.
