Yeah I think griff is right, just have the discipline to leave the table when 2 or 3 BI down, unless you know you're on your A-game and just getting brutally unlucky, and it's not affecting your play.
As for recognising when you're off your A-game, I tend to get moody when I'm losing, I start swearing when I miss flops, I get pissy with villains when they call cbets or take down pots, I start thinking god hates me (even though I don't even believe in god), I get loose-passive, I start making what I know are bad calls. I have plenty of red flags which tell me to quit playing for a while and do something else.
I know I'm on my A-game when poker isn't stressful, when I'm happy and in a good mood. If I lose a big pot and I just shrug my shoulders thinking "nice hand" or "well played" or "hahaha you muppet", I'm in the right frame of mind to stay seated. It's when I think "you cunt, I'm gonna have you for that" or "why do I keep missing flops" or "what the fuck is the idiot doing, FUCK YOU!!!", stuff like that tells me to stop.
