I agree too, but I think being aware of how you are running is always a good idea.
1. Just because you are on a huge downswing doesn't mean you are playing badly. It certainly can (and often does), but not always.
And on the flip side:
2. Just because you are winning doesn't mean you are playing your best (or even well).
After each session or any time I am looking at recent results, really, I try to keep in mind how I was running compared to "average" and what I think my results would have been had I been running average.
I don't think there is anything wrong with this. In fact, I think it helps you stay realistic about your expectations when you are running well, and helps you keep your head up when you are running badly.
