Started playing 6 max turbo Sit N Goes, and want to create some reports in PT4. Is it better to use chips won or bb won. I ask because my chips won graph is better than bb won graph, what better represents how I am playing. Thanks.

Chips won is probably a bit more relevant, but it's susceptible to variance (for instance if you win a lot of heads up coinflips). Check against your allin EV.

I'd be more interested in the bb/100 number, but both graphs are useful to some extent. If there is a major disparity between them over a large sample, it could indicate that your skills are lacking in either the early game or end game*. In the short run, however, variance will make this impossible to discern.

* e.g. Someone might have a high bb/100 in the early levels, because they don't spew, but they might not win many chips later on if they are too nitty when short-handed, so they never have many bb left in their stack in the end game. I'm not sure how much this applies in 6-max SNGs, but in MTTs the nitty mincashers like me tend to have high bb/100 numbers, but few big wins, because we're always folding and waiting for a better spot... and then we blind out.

P.S. If you can filter your results for stack size, that can help you spot potential leaks. If you can get a decent bb/100 when your stack is <15bb, you're often doing very well overall, because pushbotting correctly on the bubble is obviously a key SNG skill.
