My problem is not about poker - but it shows up when playing poker.
My winning graph looks like a ladder with many tiny steps going up for long time and then one big fall down and again tiny steps up.

I'm playing NL micro cash games in Stars mostly with with timid passive players.
When in my 'normal mind' I understand that these players (almost) never bluff and if they bet big, then they have something good.
But when I have good starting hand and / or good flop plus they call every of my growing CBets, then my mind switches to some crazy mode and starts to make sentences like "he can't possibly have that straight because why would he call with 59o". And of course he has exactly that 59o (cause he's CS) and I loose some 100bb.
After the hand is lost, my mind switches back to normal and I see that 59o in his hand was so obvious ...
Then I promise to myself that never again I will be so stupid, but I cannot control this.
This stupid aggressive mode is similar to one that you experience when some thugs try to beat you up in empty street, you just kick and hit as hard as you can.
I cannot imagine what to do to learn to maintain clear thinking in big pot situations. I feel like a robot without a free will at these moments.

TL;DR
What to do to combat stress in big pots ?
