People will tell ya that over time luck will even out and stuff, but in reality, variance can cause a huge imbalance on a certain side.
That said, has there been a suit that has been particularly lucky for you?
For me, I love clubs and diamonds and hate hearts and spades. Nothing rational about this, but it's just so happened that clubs and diamonds have been kind to me by chance while the opposite is true of the other two suits.
Looking at my hand history in fact, two of my biggest pots ever won were won with low suited club connectors. 45 and 67 of clubs. All of my other top pots were won with AA, KK, or pocket pairs that hit sets.
The first lucky hand I raised with 45 of clubs from the button (I hadn't seen a flop in a while so I thought the blinds would respect my raise) and got called by BB. Flop's 68J of clubs. Flopped a flush. I bet big since I was vulnerable to a hand with one higher club. He calls. 7d hits on the turn, and he leads out with a pot size bet. I shoved it. He calls and flips over 78 offsuit.
My biggest pot ever was won with 67 of clubs. I had it on BB, and would have folded preflop if there was a raise but all limpers. I flopped two pairs but little did I know UTG flopped a flush and BTN flopped a lower two pairs 64. UTG slowplayed his J high flush, only calling my raises, and I ended up hitting a 6 on the river and tripled up over the flush and the smaller FH.
Spades and hearts though have killed me far more than the other two suits in terms of flush draws hitting.
