I could people this theory I feel like you never know with online sites a lot of players are good online players but aren't as good live players, because online they hit on the stupid hands and suckout what feels like a lot more often than in person. Half of the people making calls with 27 and 10 8 off would not be making those same calls at a live table.

players run good or run bad because that's how cards work. you can run good or bad for a LONG time. eventually the cards change, but i think people underestimate how long the runs can go for. that's why poker isn't so easy sometimes.

I've been on shitty run as of late. I'ts been unlikely after unlikely and across every site I play. So It's not just carbon. Still, it happens like that sometimes. Just like the roulette wheel can land on red 10 times in a row with slightly less than a 50% chance each time. You can lose ten races in a row. Just because, someone hits their one in four, or seven, or ten, or 20, doesn't change the odds next time. It does even itself out over time. Just because you win a 3 in 4 shot three times in a row, you don't fold it the fourth time. You play it, and you expect to win.

Sometimes bad runs can seem worse than they actually are because of what was touched on earlier,namely, donks and people on tilt that will play anything regardless of how many chips you raise. The suck outs in these situations are harder to take since no reasonable person would take some of the risks that some idiots take at the tables (and get away with).
Just keep grinding and wait for the luck to go your way again.

You don't think that over the long run that these 50/50 races even out? When I've played and beat odds heads up a few times in a row I can almost feel a bad beat coming and visa versa.
