Does this mean (With the EV Bar) that I was ahead but lost more then I should have, or vise versa? Please explain what this chart is telling me so I know how to understand it in the future because it confuses me (Ev related confusing.....)

Thanks!

You've lost $264 (THICK GREEN line is your winnings), but you've been playing OK. You should have been breakeven at zero. (thin green line is your EV)

So you've been extremely unfortunate in allin situations: always losing AK vs QQ, or other coinflips, going allin with the best hand where people hit a stupid draw on you... or, you have some draw yourself you just NEVER seem to hit.


On the longterm.... these two lines will cross each other again (they'll play a fun game like two waves/snakes) But 848 hands is a very small sample size. You can easily run bad (extremely under EV) for 50.000 hands.

Take a look at this post: I like to change the color of the EV line (because DARKGREEN size=1, and DARKGREEN size=2 are confusing)
