Is this inevitable or is there a good way of avoiding going brooke in this kind of situation, as the stacks are not hugely deep?

It is normal when hit a set to go AI.
Set vs set situations are rare, so do not bother.

Yes I know, it's just that sometimes you have a feeling that that might be happening to you. But still it's rare and there is so much value to get it all in because they have pairs and draws so much of the time I guess.

Getting off bottom set is possible in some situations, but they are so rare, at least HU in raised pots, that it is best to turn the brain off to avoid out-thinking yourself.

This is standard.
