Based on that information it does looks like you are running bad, so give it some time before worrying.

For an idea of just how irrelevant your results after 5k hands are work out a 95% confidence interval for your winrate.
Yeah, if I had known it was just for 75 BB and 2500 hands, I wouldn't have made any suggestions except maybe, "75 BB is nothing and those swings will happen fairly often, so deal with it and don't freak out" When you start running bad to the tune of -400 BB over the course of 20,000 hands it might be time to start worrying about your play.
Yeah, it actually felt a LOT worse until I actually pulled the stats. I was surprised to find I was slightly positive over my last 5k hands.
TylerK: its just gambling if i want to worry about money i'll go to work lol
