Default How much do timing frequencies affect your decisions?

The nature of variance shows up in all facets of poker. You do not get dealt AA once every ~200 hands, you are dealt it a few times within a ten minutes, then not again for an hour. How does such variance affect your decisions?

(1) Most people have tendencies of what type of hands they like to 3bet in position. If you've been hammering a player by 3betting them in position a bunch in the past 20 minutes and you pick up JTcc in position to his raise, are you more inclined to 3bet again or slow down in fear that he's ready to play back light?

(2) You've been dealt a bunch of premium hands in a row and shown them down for stacks so you are sitting on a 400BB stack. You raise AA and get 3bet. You normally have a certain frequency to slowplay here by calling.. does this frequency increase or decrease due to the gameflow?

(3) You have been 3bet hammering a regular with him calling preflop and folding on flops. You 3bet him in position and he calls, you completely miss the flop.. are you more inclined to keep hammering on him because he hasn't adjusted yet? Or do you check back and give up because you think he's just about ready to wrecklessly play back with air?

(4) You have been getting smoked. Awful session, down a few buyins after a half hour. Everyone seems to be flopping the world on you and you can't connect at all. Are you more inclined or less inclined to start bluff-raising potentially inviting flops? (ie. do you start doing it more often because you can't win pots any other way, or do you completely shut down and play "standardly" until you start running better?"
