I would strongly suggest you take a close look at the articles and posts on this forum regarding bankroll management.  It is one of the keys to being a successful poker player, and would have avoided you getting into the trouble you got into.  Suckouts can and do happen.  That's why you have to be sure you have a bankroll that can handle the swings that inevitably come with poker.  You can play the best poker of your life and still lose again and again.

That's why bankroll management is so important.  There's lots of different points of view, but the basic consensus is that you should have at least 40 buyins if you are playing a tournament, and at least 20 full buyins for a cash table.  1 full buyin tends to be around 100 times the Big Blind, but for a lot of the microstakes (i.e. .01/.02) can be up to 250 times the Big Blind.

Like I said, there's a lot more to it, but that's the basics.  Take bankroll management into consideration, and you'll protect yourself from losing your whole roll on a couple of bad beats.  They will happen (especially at the low levels), and bankroll management protects you from them.  Hope that's helpful to you.  Best of luck!
