HEM's red line & hu sngs - Page 2 - Heads Up SNG and Spin and Gos -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

I don't think it is worth too much attention.

Since all in ev is only one variable of luck out of many. i.e. card distribution, hitting flops, coolers, etc, it isn't worth caring too much. It's a slight indicator but consider this:

Your red line is +20 BIs for over 100 games but you only won 5BI. Now, you ran bad given your all in ev, however you are not a 20% ROI player - that was a good run of cards, that you didn't do so well on when all in. Take vice versa, add in more variables, and then you realise that the red line is fairly plop. Not total plop - it is a indicator, but nothing more.

I think this best sums up what I was trying to work out. Thanks.

It eliminates ONE of the luck factors in poker but there are many others. It's better than actual results to predict long term real profitability though.
