I found a few annoying issues with the Tournament $ev won vs $ won calculations and the corresponding graphs created.
First off, if I lose a tournament then my $ won should go down by the tournament buyin which it always does but somehow my $ev won can go down MORE than the tournament buyin. Just because I get in a few bad flips and win them and then lose a tournament doesn't mean my $ev should be below the tournament buyin. It's impossible to actually lose more than the tournament buyin so why should the $ev won be able to go below that?
Second, here is a small example. I am playing a $50 heads up tournament and get a guy down to 1 big blind and I have 30 big blinds. He gets in behind 6 times in a row all in PF and wins every single one and the tournament. Well, the $ev won of the first hand for me is like $2 even though had I won the hand I would have actually won $100. Why the huge discrepancy? It seems to me that in a heads up situation ending a tournament the $ev won should not be be a quick chip ev won to $ev won conversion like I am guessing it is. It should somehow take into account that if one side wins he actually wins the prize pool, not just a few chips.
