Amazing thread. Also, while OP is obviously a degen from the HHs I've seen and the times I watched him he seemed to play pretty well, just run better at 200/400 next time OP.

OP:

You are the rare degen that actually has some degree of perspective. And you seem like a winning player.

Congrats.

Sorry people i'm color blind, Is the above line Blue = Showdown winnings??
The line under it is = Total winnings??
The line ending on ~13k is Sklansky bux

meaning he ran 60k hotter then to be expected on allins?

Why has no one suggested putting maybe even 20k in some kind of account with interest and just not touching it for say...10 years...then living off it? that would be the ideal situation bro.

Here is an image of last years Omaheater. It's pretty sick. I ran this one over a 100k. I lost some of the data for it, but this is the first time I've graphed it.

I've never done these graphs before. Can someone show or explain to me what typical omaha graphs look like? Do my graphs show that I'm a good player or a luckbox or both?

Your graphs show that you are are probably a marginal winner, but you run in god mode.

Think of it like this,

If the average person get all in Preflop with a 60/40 edge, they win roughly 60% of the time.

The red line represents the average of how you were getting in your money. So in the above graph, you got 75000$ of money in with the better hand.

However, you won nearly twice that, which as you can see is actually crazy.

Two Points:
1. It's possible to run hot in Sklansky bucks too (not saying this actually happened.)
2. OP shouldn't fear that variance will tear him back down; it doesn't work that way. He should wait a few days, deposit 1k, and grind it back up.
