Ya, Ace.  One of the things about being card dead, is you need to realize you're card dead, and walk away.  I have a problem where I'll catch a rush of cards, and be able to steal a few pots as my hands start deteriorating, but after looking at Q2 off and 93s so many times, you start having impaired judgement.
 
If I win a huge pot I won't dodge a table (especially live, when it took an hour of driving to get there, and I expect to play 3-4 hours of cards, minimum), but I will slow down, and if I catch myself slipping I'll stand up, stretch my legs, and give myself two orbits or losing a moderate pot until I stand up.
 
And in live games I consider it polite to warn the table if I'm sitting deep after a monster pot. "Hate to hit and run, but if I don't start getting cards here I'm gonna go to the gym."  And then I'll go to the gym, come back, and play some more.  Not everybody has the convenience of having a gym membership near a casino though.  Or the advanced planning to have a gym bag in their trunk at all times. :)
 
But you get the idea.  Get your money off the table when you notice you're game is slipping.  Because I guarantee everybody is shooting for that money.  Go get some ice cream, a snack, anything.
 
Also, if you know a tournament is coming up, and you're up say . . .  $600 and the buy-in is $50, well makes perfect sense.
 
I find the trick to live cash games is not winning big pots, but winning big pots and not bleeding chips for hours.  I don't know if your game is the same as mine though.
