**I DONKED THE TITLE! '$EV IS NEGATIVE WHEN I WIN, POSITIVE WHEN I LOSE? EH?**

Ive been playing a mixture of HUSNGs and 6-MAX SNGs. When I've been losing my $EV is positive then when I start winning it becomes negative? I'm I just unlucky when I lose or a luck sack when I win. I cant figure it out!

$EV is just "expected profit".
If you win, you generally make more profit than expected. When you lose, you're below.

Not necessarily, but very often, yes.
