it seems you might be running into players who have the ability to, or have finally, figured you out. Or they got a book on you and are starting to take you off for a few too many bets. try changing tables and or styles

Of course it could be just statistical variation or you could be loosening up after getting ahead. All these things probably play some part in your recient circumstances.

Don't worry about what poker pros think of you. They don't care what you think of them. Get the killer instinct and walk away with there money now and then in order to build bankroll and after the bankroll is big enough, then you can sit for longer sessions. Secondly hustle them. Don't make it look like your making a hit and run. Make up a story that you can't stay long, or just be the kind of person nobody seems to notice when they quit a game. Trust me your pokerroom will not collapse if you leave with money.
I know several pros who do nothing but play 2 to 5 hours a day and take home $500 a day 5 days a week.

Hi Mike

There could be several reasons. First it might just be statistical fluctuation. Second it could be that you do not have the heart and focus after either a given time frame or if you jumped off winners. Maybe you are trying to protect your win and play in a passive manner. Maybe your opponents are aware opponents and can figure out the texture of your plays. You stated you play the same! Do you play too much the same???
