I didn't say it was necessarily me. Get Stally to post a graph, I'm sure his put mine to shame.
does the "allin preflop=false" filter remove hands where you raise allin but opponents fold? i assume so (have PT3 not HEM so different filters).
if that's the case then surely no SS is going to be positive? most of the blinds play is 3bet rather than call, plus lots of our open-raises are met with a 3bet at the 20-50bb tables so their profit is limited when filtered for not allin. i guess it's possible to get it positive, if playing a different strategy - would need to call most raises instead of 3b, and probably limp preflop to discourage allin shoves. sounds like a prop-bet... lol.
just to give an idea of how much profit a shortstacker makes 3betting, i looked at my year and it accounts for over double my total profit. it would be many times more for an SSer winning closer to breakeven. doesn't mean we've lost money on our initial raises... it's just the blinds eating away most of the winnings. :-)
