There's no compensating. The definition of random is given any previous condition, the odds will be the same. The past or how other people run or the weather outside or what kind of shoes I'm wearing have no bearing on the likelihood of an A coming on the turn or river.

It makes sense, but the logic's way off. In the long run, the board will not kill 1 player more than another player. Play for a week and that may be possible. But if you have 200k hands from 2 players, I guarantee you they're within 1% of each other in terms of how well they do on coin flips (let's say all QQ vs. AKs instead just so the percentage is fixed). The definition of random is predictable in the long term, not in the short term.

I assume you're asking so you can blame luck rather than your own play. You use pokertracker? If you do, look up pokerEV, some free software that gives you a "luck graph". Assuming you have enough hands (otherwise you can't complain about long-term losing) I think you'll be surprised at how close the amount you win and the amount you were expected to win are.
