I don't really believe an upswing has to be followed by a downswing, it just sometimes feels that way. I don't usually have a lot of time to play, so my exiting after playing well for a while is usually dictated by that. Being results oriented was once my biggest crutch, but not so much these days.

If you draw a trend line, it changes based on the number of hands you include in the sample. But there is only the hand you are playing, that is the only hand you should be concerned with. If you are thinking about the results of your session and it makes you change your play, then you are not playing your A game. Then you are more likely to have a downswing. But while it followed an upswing, it was not caused by it. Remember a cash game is one lifetime session. The cycle is only in you mind.
