Nobody likes to lose, and see their bankroll disappear. However, if you play bigger buy-ins when you start to lose a stretch of games it's likely you'll go broke.
It's a common mistake by recreational players, and even players that play all the time. Some players completely ignore bankroll management.

If you want to succeed long term you need discipline, and you can't break bankroll management during moments where you become frustrated.
I get frustrated all the time, it happens. Bad beats happen. Variance will eventually turn around, and you will be rewarded for playing solid.

Anyone ever break bankroll management out of frustration?

I know I've done it, more times than I would like to admit. I'm always trying to improve my discipline, and stick to my gameplan.

Let me be honest, I'm guilty of this. After a series of losses, I usually get tempted to play bigger buy-ins so I could recover. In most instances it doesn't end well.
Safe to say I learned the hard way.
 
It’s not a good decision to recover losses by playing bigger game. It's very is crucial to adhere to a money management strategy in betting regardless of the situation.
