$EV vs Luck adjusted winnings

Yes.

The problem is that 20 SnGs is too small a sample to make any determination of quality of play. Or luck.

If you're running BELOW where luck says you should be, then I suspect you have not been getting your fair share of the breaks. I use HM2, and if has a "luck adjusted winnings" graph I don't know of it -- but I don't play SnGs, and it may be specific to that format.

An EV of $25 means little unless we also know what the actual was.

If it was $50, then you've been doing pretty good.
If it was -10, then you've been coming across a lot of luckboxes.

I ill say its more important to review that SnGs with HRC, what do you care if you push AQ from the CO with 10bb and get called with AK, or push trash for 10bb from SB and get called and raped, the important thing is you are doing the rights moves.

Thanks for your replies!

First off what is HRC?

Yeah luck adjusted winnings is specific to SnG buyin/$ graphs, when you go to the tourney reports tab in hm2 and look at the "Tournament winnings" graph, it has an option "show luck adjusted winnings" instead of in cash game graph or chip graph it shows all in EV.

I've now played 37 SnGs ( 6max hyper turbo ) and I have $52.92 Winnings -$2.58 net winnings and $EV $47.60

I'm not sure if this $EV amount is relevant to my net winnings or just my winnings, if it is the latter then according to this I'm running $5.32 above ev yet still losing money, indicating that I'm playing bad but still getting lucky?

According to the "Luck Adjusted Winnings" graph my green line is sitting at about -$2.6 while my red line ( The Luck Adjusted Winnings Line ) is sitting at about -$8.

I assume that means that I'm playing bad and running well, yet not running well enough to be in the profit with my bad play? I've been following the Pokerstrategy push fold charts for SnGs when below 13bb and the steal/resteal charts from the mid and early game charts when above 13bb ( taking into consideration the biggest stack behind me as the stack to go by if any of them have more chips then I do.

Cant seem to find any articles to read specific to hyper turbos, maybe these graphs are more for regular speed or just normal turbos ( not hypers ) ?

I just want to know if I can rely on these charts to beat the lowest limit? also have been playing without a hud because as a cash game player I feel my hud will hinder more then help due to having ALOT less hands on people, and people's strategy's changing with the stacks, which are changing very fast in hypers.

Don't worry about EV it's all a myth

50k games is still not really a decent sample

Use a hud, it's a must even for small amounts of hand samples. Gl and welcome to hypers hell
