Chip EV

it does mean that you'r running bad, and it kind of should even out someday, but don't focus on ev lines and etc, just play your A game, learn and grind, the results will come

thank you. It's hard to say if I am just running bad or I am fish. That's why I am asking

EV in sngs is sort of inaccurate. If your playing correct sng strategy you will be going all in for more often with weaker hands then normal. As long as you are making the coreect plays theres no need to worry. I would get sng wizard to find out if your making the right plays.

Shoving 85 and other trash hands is often the correct play in sngs. When you get called and lose when they have a better hand will make your ev look terrible. So even though we lose the hand and were behind it was still the correct play. This is why i never pay attention to ev for sngs

That's not how the all-in luck adjustment works. In fact, if you keep getting your money in with a weaker hand and lose, the adjustment will be to increase your estimated ROI. Also, making a profitable push with a weak hand will increase your adjusted EV on average, just as it improves your average profit.

Whether you are getting your money in ahead or behind, the luck adjustment is supposed to have an average value of 0. If you lose, the luck adjustment is positive. If you win, the luck adjustment is negative.

If you find this confusing, simply ignore the luck adjustment. The adjusted results converge to your long run average slightly faster than your actual results do, and this is helpful to some people, but it's more helpful to study how to play winning poker than to study luck adjustments.
