Discipiline yourself to at least take an extended break...

You are aware of a significant leak in your game. The fact that you are winning despite this signficant leak should be encouraging. Barry Greenstein book pg 74:

"Gamblers tend to be competitive people with compulsive tendencies... To be successful, you have to come to terms with the compulsive gambler inside of you."

Sounds to me like you haven't come to terms with your compulsive behavior.

Good tournament players are often fish in cash games because they are very bad at controlling losses. (In tourneys, they are forced to stop). Sounds to me like you know the problem, you just can stop it.

Good luck.
