I'm generally happy as long as I got the money in as the favorite. Focus on making the correct plays and let the cards take care of your money.

I also highly recommend the book Inside the poker mind, despite most strategic essays being written on LHE, the last part, "Poker and emotions" goes over tilt/variance/etc and it does a very good job of it.

In the book, John Feeney gives a great anology (the chapter is titled "You, the machine") on an imagenery poker bot programmed so good that it beats a game at a fixed rate. say you let the bot run and properly bankroll it. You woulnd't really care if the bot is down couple buyins, because as long as the bot is up and running, it is expected to yield positive outcome.

Although it is a bit insensitive to not consider effects of cold card streaks to a human players, his concept is right on in my opinion.
