Variance is a killer, but this graph does not have variance- it's a very consistent sharp downward trend.
So that is the assumption that should be challenged to explain the graph, the assumption that OP is playing a winning game.
In fact it is probably more likely that there is a doom switch than that a winning player could have that kind of straight downward graph with minimum variance. OP must have said something bad about Lederer so he should comb his threads, find the insult, and respectfully apologize lol
serously though, this graph is not legit under the assumption that OP is a long term winning player. Not enough variance.

If you want, I can pm you all of the HH"s. It is all completely real. How I wish it wasn't.

Ok, here is what I did with the filters on HM.
1. Under Reports click filters and then the 'more filters' tab.
2. At the very bottom of the list under 'other filters', select 'Allin Win% is Bigger Than...' and 'Allin Win% is Less Than'. Make it bigger than 50% and less than 50% for the two.
3. I also set the Final Pot size in BB's to "bigger than" 40bbs.
It's pretty easy and you can mess around with it.

Re: 08 so far...
Poker is a complex game, unsolvable despite the daily hubris here on twoplustwo. Maybe you are an intuitive supra genius who, on a deep level, wants to sabatage himself. Maybe you have developed some super effective, super subtle anti-strategy?
Are you building big pots relative to your stack and folding?
You have some kind of leak. That is a fact because the opposite, that you played 80K hands without any significant upswing, is too unlikely (probability zero). Even bad players go on upswings. Even really bad players go on upswings.
Your graph really suggests that you are methodically and consistently not playing well, not that you are several magnitudes unluckier than the the unluckiest poker player who ever posted a blind.
You might have taken a liking to your view of yourself as unlucky but good. Don't do that. Face the facts. There are leaks in your game. If you've worked on your game to the nth degree already, then try another format like heads up or full ring or another game for awhile because man I have to tell you when you get wacked out improbable as hell results, challenge the underlying assumptions that produce the wacked outedness rather than accept the wacked outedness as the outcome of an ordinary process....if that makes any sense. I mean if I was a farmer and saw that there was a solid golden egg in some chickens nest, I would challenge the assumption that the egg was lain by the chicken. I would not, as you are doing, assume the chicken laid the golden egg and thank my lucky stars.

Re: 08 so far...
trying to make an analogy to make my point but maybe it got a little choppy.
Variance, despite what you maybe absobed in this forum, does not mean losses. Losses are not always due to variance. In fact, my main point is, your graph is not all over the place. There is not a high amount of vaiance in your results. Your results are incredibly consistent. That LACK OF VARIANCE means you are not playing well.

Re: 08 so far...
yeah I don't know nothin dont listen to me. Just keep on going slugger. See if you can play another 80,000 hands without a single upswing. We will all be very impressed. Hopefully you can get there before spontaneously combusting
