Re: bad run of cards or playing worse?
I think a run of -.50BB/100 over 1500 hands at some point is a highly likely occurence for virtually every omaha 8 player out there. In fact, from what I've observed runs of much worse are well within what a player should expect, just from a sheer statistics point of view.
That being said, if you are changing your game because you are running bad, then you may be compounding it.
If you look through the holdem forums you will regularly see known winning players talking about downswings that last for 200BB or thousands and thousands of hands.
All I am trying to say is, to be a slight loser over 1500 hands is very common.
(Think of the times when you had the nut straight and nut low on the turn, and watched the flush card come on the river that counterfeited your low. From scoop to being scooped. That's a lot BBs to lose on a single hand...)
