I did $1K to $0 in about 6 hours a few weeks ago on PKR. Was great. My whole roll. Although, I admit I built it from $50 to $1k in 2 days..So it wasn't exactly months of work trashed. Still $1k. But when you get it playing like that, it really is easy come easy go.
I always tell myself, I'll build it quick like that, so I can play with proper BRM once I hit a nice roll for NL50. But I never do I keep playing, NL100, nl200, nl400 etc until busto.
I had the same situation. Built my br from no deposit 50$ to ~300$ and when i had to leave for 3 weeks I told myself "all in and u have 600 or nothing". Of course i lost all money. That's why every cent is important to me now.

This happend to me aswell, but now my Bankrollmanagement is very tight and my poker knowledge increased, too. I've definitely learned my lesson and I am very happy about that, because now I dont fear any downswing(variance), it comes and goes, and I'm almost weekly climbing up the stakes.
If you want to move up fast, then start getting used to multitabling, its far better than playing over your Bankroll.
