Is there such a thing as an application that goes through your hand histories, and figures out your "luck" over a selection of hands?

Say, for example, if you have a swing of -200bb over a stretch of hands, you could look to your luck, and by comparing the two curves, you could much more easily determine whether or not you're unlucky, tilting, or just plain suck.

Does anything like that currently exist?

Is this limit?

If not, 200 bb downswings in NLHE is pretty regular.

There are a lot of factors that must be weighed.

For example; lets say you get KK 5 times and all 5 times you get called by AA. However, you win 2 out of 5 of those times.

Were you lucky or were you unlucky?

What if you didn't get KK at all over a long stretch of cards? That is pretty unlucky to me.

Oh, didn't see the thread necromancy...
