There will always be some times when you are more vulnerable to ego than others. No matter how good you are.

I was in a hand with one of the most respected players on here. I'd called a small raise with my A10 and was generally doing my best job at giving off an impression of being weak and nervous. I flopped another 2 aces, I was doing such a good job of pretending to be weak I almost folded myself. I checked the flop and put a tiny nervous bet on the turn card, an 8. The river was a king which I could tell was a good card for my opponent from the size of his river bet. Long story short, I threw all my chips in making it look like I was over-repping the turn card 8 to the point of being a bluff, and he called thinking he had the best of it until he saw my 3 aces. 
Now that was from a very good player who is very successful in the Cardschat tournaments. Players make mistakes. Ego can make good players do dumb shit. I've done dumb shit myself. I get your point about knowing the game and knowing what you are doing but fatigue happens and ego happens.
