The blueline is showdown profit: what you've won when you get to showdown.
The redline is non-showdown profit: what you've won when you didn't get to showdown.
non-showdown profits: if you fold a lot you are going to be going in the negative with this line by putting money in and folding. Conversely if you get other people to fold a lot, this will be in the positive.
showdown profits: most people's blueline makes up the majority (or all) of their profit because in the micros it's basically best hand poker because people don't fold a lot. You can't win non-showdown pots if people aren't folding, so your profits in the micros come almost exclusively from valuebetting and getting called a lot and going to showdown with the best hand.
*as you move up in stakes and the pots tend to be won preflop or on the flop due to aggression levels increasing drastically, people's red lines often catch up with or in some cases even surpass their blue lines.
