Default Re: PokerEV graphs... what do they mean?

I cant remember seeing any graphs where somebody came out positive in pots that ended before showdown.

I'm surprised at this, because that's almost the definition of playing good poker. Your steals should show a profit. Your cbets should show a profit. Your bluffs should show a profit. If they don't, why do them? Shania?

True, but it isn't just c-bets and bluffs that are reflected in the green line. Also factored in are things like money you lose to blinds, chasing draws w/ good odds but then the draw doesn't hit, and things like that. It's very common for actual winnings to be below showdown winnings for these reasons, although i have seen graphs where the lines are all about equal and a couple where the green does exceed the others.
