I use poker bankroll tracker to monitor my sessions/income/losses. I went on a $2500 downswing last month but am still up $2600 for the year. My bb/hour is -.77 and the bb/100 hands is -3.07. What causes these stats to be negative but I am still in the positive on money? The $/hour is at $19 and the $/100 hands is at $77.55. Am I overlooking a simple explanation here?

The simplest explanation would be that not all your play was at the same stakes.

Yeah, the majority of my play is at lower stakes, and that is also where the majority of my losses were. That makes sense now. Thanks

Live play is weird, 100 hands takes 4 hours? 0_0

25 hands/hour is pretty standard for low stakes live games.

What lots of people fail to understand is that the most profitable games often are the ones that deal the least amount of hands per hour because that means lots of players stick around to showdown.
