I don't think it's the 'sites' at all,.. I believe it is the 'players' on those sites who are calling down hands with terrible odds and sucking out brutally. Good players will get sucked out on,.. often. Mediochre and weak players,.. not as often,.. they're the one's who are doing the sucking out.
Badluck can come in long runs at times. Not placing in large buy-in Mtts is not considered to be bad luck, it's just the nature of the game, especially if you're vying to place up in the cash, instead of just trying to double your buy-in or whatever.
Someone told me once, luck is like an elastic,.. it can stretch one way for so long and then it will enevitably snap back. Unless of course it's just a leak in your game that you're failing to recognize, ie. playing flop passively and wondering why others draw out on you with runner runner flushes and straights, etc.
