100 BB downturns are not uncommon even among winning players.
Poker is a game of skill but it doesn't mean you can't have bad luck.
I play poker when I have $1000 to lose without risk. That's when I can play my best, with detachment from the money and the freedom that provides.
My last $1000 with no job? It's time to think about food and shelter and a new job -- any old job will do. I made a decision in my mid-20s that I would never again sponge off my parents or friends, that for me, I'd outgrown that. So no way would I risk my last $1k.

But, of course, YMMV.
