Why PokerEV sklansky bucks != guide to running good or bad

[tagWAG]

Please stop using the PokerEV Game Analysis graph to infer you how good or bad you run. If your Sklansky bucks (red line) > Showdown winnings (blue line), then you are not necessarily running badly. This is even pointed out in the Help menu.

More generally aggro TAGs will *always* seem to run badly against loose passive opponents who chase draws then fold without the goods.

Imagine 2 extreme strategies:

player 1 is supertight, plays only AA and will bet flop turn and river regardless.

player 2 plays every starting hand, calling only, and continues calling all flop and turn bets. On the river he folds any hand that is worse than 2 pair, and calls with 2 pair or better.

Now obv player 1 will destroy player 2. But in every hand that gets to showdown, player 1 will have won sklansky bucks preflop (and possibly fop and turn too) from player 2. So player 1's game analysis graph will show red line > blue line. But in reality no conclusions at all can be drawn about who is running better.

However the luck graphs are safe to use and good therapy if like me you are constantly getting 2 outed on teh river.

this isn't difficult to infer on your own
even the allin luck graph doesn't take coolers into account
