How do you interpret this? I mostly play tourneys and have noticed this column to the right of your actual winnings.

Am I right in saying that for instance if you won $25 and your $EV was $30 this means, on average, throughout the tourney you played with +ve EV?

I think I may have answered my own question but it would be nice to confirm. Also, how can we use this column to improve our game?

Thanks!

Note: EV doesn't work for MTTs, but for STTs only.
(the reason for that is what happens at the other tables of a MTT directly influences your EV, even if you're not involved in that hand, and HoldemManager has no way of knowing what happens at ALL the other tables)
