This isnt' the first time this situation happened to me. Over the last several years I can recall this happening to me multiple times where my brain stops work, it just freezes. I'm not thinking, I'm not inserting any logic, I don't even know if my breathing patterns are normal.

has this or does this happen to anyone here? If so, what are you doing to fix the leak?
After about 6-7 hours into a session, that can be me. After three late night sessions, that can be me.
For example, I jammed a limped pot on the river with the "nut" straight. But it wasn't the nuts, more like the third nuts, the board cards were face up and nicely aligned but somehow I didn't see there were two bigger straights possible duh...
There are a couple of reasons the dealers get up and walk to the next table every so often. We should do the same. Get some chocolate at the gift shop. Throw a few pieces around the table when we get back. Go outside and come right back inside. Anything to reboot the brain.
And "don't pay them off", make it a rule that any bet over some fixed amount (of $ or of big blinds) we HAVE to stop and count to ten, then think about why we might insist on donating a couple of hours of win rate to some donk who just got lucky vs us.
Not a guaranteed cure but it might help now and then.
