boydy, i merged your thread with the official stats thread so you can easily find it and read it and because a graph in isolation is pretty hard to interpret. the first few replies to your graph probably nail it though. You have a negative red line because you arent aggressive enough which means you often have to fold when your opponents bets. As your game progresses and you get more aggressive you might find your red line goes positive but then you ahve to worry about your blue going negative.
if you want to post stats in this thread make sure you have at least 10k worth of hands. in the meantime, post some hands that give you trouble, reply to other peoples posts...this is a tried and proven recipe for success.
also regarding the bolded bit...i suggest looking inward for leaks. we get a lot of people saying they lose because they are unlucky (which might be true) but the reality is often they made mistakes that contributed more to their losses than they want to believe. that being said, you have a huge legup by being on 2+2 as most of your opponetns wont have even heard of this place. just do your best to use the resources provided and hopefully youll understand the crazy game better.

I can't really make sense of this hand although i'm down quite a bit of money why does the $ won at showdown differ so much from the other 2?
