I have a permanent temporary solution for you.

Stop playing after you are ahead. You think Im effing with you but I am not. With your self control in question, and you are probably a newer(ish) player, you must practice hit and runs until you get the confidence to play longer. For a player who tends to lose after the first hour or so, what creeps into your mind after that first hour is up? "HOW WILL I EFF THIS UP?" and viola, you find a way. No book or coaching lesson will tell you to stop playing like an [censored] after that magical time expires, so the only way to avoid it is to not play during the time period you historically do poorly.

Log a winner, take an hour or two clean your filthy house or something and go back to work. Rinse and repeat until you get that confidence ONLY WINNING will give you. Good luck homie.
