Dealer Peeks on Aces & Tens for blackjack

Zero heat (I go to a foreigner-only casino in Asia)

I am quite new to the Blackjack world and I have played ~116 hours so far. I use Hi-Opt II + ASC (very good at it after practicing many weeks).
Within 116 hours, I made almost ~$3000 profit. According to CVData, my EV is ~$22/hour. Yes, I know I should be happy. But it seems so frustrating that one day, I make ~$300 easily in 1 hour and be done for that day (happened yesterday), but also can lose $600 in 8 hours (just happened today). I barely won one hand per shoe today, just kept losing and losing. But yesterday, I won almost all hands everytime I spread
This whole blackjack, maybe because I am still new, it is so hard to embrace all the frustration that comes from the variation. When you win, you take it for guaranteed and I imagine myself making that much money everyday, but yet faces great disappointment when you actually lose when you expected to make much profit like last time. I know it's all statistics in the long-run, but it is yet hard for me to cope with this.
Just wanted to share what I felt today while on a losing streak after having easy wins past few days. Meh
P.S. A lot of thanks to ZenMaster_Flash for helping me out with many questions
