Variance exists in all aspects of life, sir. I would suggest that the standard deviation of your mental state is quite large, and so one in four days you may swing from being calm, cool and collected to being a nutso maniac.

In seriousness, I would assume that given the stakes you play and your recent results, you probably just have quite a few leaks to fill - don't worry, I have plenty of my own at this point - and so any deviation in how well you run can cause your results to suffer markedly.

If you are convinced this is not true - that your game is solid and you should be getting better results etc - I would try to shift some of your efforts to properly preparing yourself each and every session. Try getting into a routine, like putting in one hour of hand reviews before every session. If you play in the morning, start showering before you play. If you work out, work out before you play. These types of things can help level off your mental state, and allow you to at least start all your sessions in a similar frame of mind.

Would you rather be a poker chip in a big casino with feelings, opinions and the mind of a human or be the 4 of diamonds in a casino poker deck with the same properties as mentioned for the chip?
