Your tips sounds sensible, but it will not cure variance or bad luck. What it may cure is the tilt that the bad luck can cause in most amateur players.

My advice is not to quit or have a break from poker, but review the hands that you played and be truly honest with yourself. Were you really unlucky, or did you make a bad play? Maybe before you were losing, you were playing the same way and getting lucky - you won't know until you start analysing your game.

Either way reviewing your hands and checking these spots will help improve your mindset. If you played it well, you can tell yourself that if you played it exactly the same way again and again, you will show a profit. Or, if you played it badly, you can adjust the way you play that situation in future and make a more profitable play.

Remember that no starting hand is invincible (I literally lost a hand 10 minutes ago with AA against villains T6o), what is important is that you regularly get yourself in spots that are profitable in the long run and play a lot. If you do that, short term variance will not bother you any more because you know that in the long run (provided your BR management is sound) you will be a winning player.

Good luck (and play good) at the tables.
