This is an important point. There is some great discussion on this in Tysen Streib's book, 'Kill Everyone', where he talks about your purpose not being to eliminate people, but to build chips. I would check your play of these hands and see whether you were calling with hands that you shouldn't have.
Note that this advice differs from Harrington's who says that he'll call a push with almost any two cards if it's not going to cost him less than 10% of his stack. I actually prefer the 'Kill Everyone' advice.
Didn't really help answer your question (!), but hopefully this prevents losing part of your stack at this point in future.
