of course it would have; not on luck itself, but stdev of blocks per day, almost certainly.
organofcorti should correct if i am wrong.

A smaller pool should typically have more variation in the number of blocks mined per day than a larger pool.

to me, this ^^ sounds right.

Yes, you will get more blocks per day, but you will still get 600%+ blocks.
Blocks per day is not the way to look at it, the way is average shares per block.

The only thing having more hashrate will do is make the bad blocks go by quicker, which makes it feel better, but the reality is that there is no difference. We would all be getting less per block also, so the amount of BTC per day would be lower, so the number of blocks per day is not relevant.

I remember seeing Antpoo going almost a full day with no blocks, I think it ended being a 1400% block

Oh, no....
If 1400% is possible, then what, a week without blocks is possible?
I hope we stop at about now or within 700%
