The problem is that the EV of a line is very dependent on your table image. If you're losing, your villains are not going to respect you and they're going to look you up lighter, which increases the EV of your value bets and decreases the EV of your bluffs.
In general, the most +EV game is tailored, as specifically as possible, to each individual situation. Not every villain will have the same tendencies against you, and a given villain will not have the same tendencies for every hand. You have to consider
everything, which means that if you are playing for max EV, you will play individual hands in individual spots differently from each other depending on what the overall individual situation is.
So you absolutely should deviate from a line you'd take while running good when you're running bad, and it will net you money, rather than cost you money, if you are adjusting correctly.
