Does this mean I'm just running bad or is this normal in terms of EV?

Can some HEM stats pros give some pointers here please,

These stats are 45/90man 50c MTT SNG games on stars,

first is my graph, which is a has around 572 games played.

I've profitable around $82.00 with a ROI% of 29% all combined. I'm unsure of if this is actually quite bad considering how bad 50c games are or if I'll increase my ROI% over more games. Anyway, I'v been messing around with HEM and filtering stats etc..

Can someone explain a bit more in them? According to HEM, I'm actually down in terms of chips but with EV adjusted should have many more..Is this just normal looking stats or not? How have I profited yet down in chips? Is this kind of misleading in the sense of I might get deep, have 30kstack, stack of vs someone with a 30k stack for example and be sucked out, so lose 30k in terms of chips and it's showing me as +EV adjusted? also, bb20 is this even accurate as EV adjusted BB is roughly the same?


Is my bb/100 to low for 50c games? Any VPIP%/PFR%

Also, is 32k hands still nothing to determine anything yet?


Stack Size 10blinds and lower so push/fold seems ok?

This is when blind levels are 200 + . . .seems I'm doing bad here? Maybe to aggro, opinions?

Unless you win a tournament you are always going to lose chips, because you start with say $1,500 and end with none, so even if you finish 2nd in every single tourney you play you are going to be losing the same amount of chips if you finish last.

ROI of 29% is pretty good, and prob unstainable long term.

Yeah I didn't think of that...then why is there a EV adjusted option for tournament mode? Doesn't make any sense to me if it's basically of no use :O

I just ideally wanted to find out a way of my EV in tournament mode, is there any way you can think of?

Another thing! Are these filters totally useless looking for leaks in terms of blinds left of 10<

or blind level of 200+ as it's all EV adjusted sort of stats mainly so can it ever be accurate?

While I seldom play them and thus may not be familiar with how these games are now, unless the proportion of weak players has dropped substantially, I suspect it's still possible to maintain ROIs above 25%. Not easy like it once was, but not impossible either.

Worry less about overall EV and worry more about where you may be losing equity (losing money). A game sample of 800 is like minimum you want to even find out if you might be winning, you want several thousand at one stake and one tournament before making a juddement (i can't work out how to spell that as i'm extrememely drunk, however the above advice seems solid)

29% ROI probably unsustainable in SNGs.
