Why does BJ seem so streaky?

It's either up 10-20x EV... or you could make money on an even-money sidebet that the dealer is going to pull a 21 out of his ass. Is this just an illusion, or what?

I've got this theory, that when the session starts off with good variance I play well and this only makes things better, and when it's bad I subconsciously steam which of course makes matters worse. My basis for this is that even though I have 4-5 good sessions for every bad one, the bad ones are on the average 2-4 times worse than the good ones are good. Oddly, at the end of every few months I'm still above EV. I could be doing something to aggravate this, or it could be just normal variance aggravated by human perception. Not enough trials to know for sure yet, I guess.
