Mentally ******ed players winning... when to stop?

Been in a grind rally for few weeks.
Playing 10-12 hours per day a 2-5 game in the US. I always buy in max (1000 $) and never start a hand with less than 800. I table select and never sit with more than 2 players that i consider better than me (hard to believe but true).
In the last 5-6 sessions i lost around 18 hands where i either put the money in on the turn or got raised and I snap with my Nuts/Set and lost at the river.
Don't wanna rant about bad beats, so, every day i go back to play because leaving villain with few outs for stacks i think is a good strategy.
Few notes.
1- Coaching would not fix the hands i lost when all in and villain hits,
2- I dont play only overpairs,
3- I cant follow my GF advice not to play all in pots as they are the hands where i have the top of my range,
4- I stop slowplaying millions of years ago,
5- The only money i make is with position and bluffing,
6- I dont tilt i just laugh when fish gets lucky.
Now.... Im inevitably down a nice figure of cash and im asking for an opinion on how long i can insist with these mentally ******ed players before quitting.
Any advice is welcome!

The time to stop is now. If you can't resist posting that, you are in no shape to play good poker. We've all been there, but you need a break.
