quick question, if you look around, you always see those EV graphs in BBV. Some of the best aggressive players (as in those who can hand read AND put villains to the test) have graphs where their total winnings is actually higher than their expected winnings/sklansky bucks.

[/ QUOTE ]Not sure if you just mistyped that but if the winnings is above showdown winnings then that's winning more than your fair share of pots. Winnings above SBs is "running good".

I think he has it right. I've seen some graphs where aggression gives them a lot of pots, but if they get to showdown, they're usually behind. So they may have W$SD<<50%, but they pick up so many pots without getting to showdown that their Total Winnings line is way above their Expected/Sklansky Bucks line.

We are all saying the same thing. In general, if you are often outplaying your opponents, then your winnings is going to be above your expected winnings. I don't know the specifics, but the more you win hands without showing down, the more winnings above your expected winnings line you'll see.

I know a while ago CTS wrote an awesome article on four betting people who were squeezing lightly. CTS blog It is geared more for short handed but has some valuable points none the less.
