Message: [QUOTE="fundiver199, post: 7185873, member: 397965"] If its still not clear to OP and others, why a graph showing chips won or lost in tournaments is difficult to enterpret, then just imagine that a cash game player was playing anything from 2NL to 200NL and chose to display his graph in $. Then obviously hands at 100NL and 200NL would completely dominate the results and it would not even be possible to see, what had happened at 2NL or 5NL. If for instance his total winnings were $500 but the all-in adjusted result $1.500, this could all be explained by running bad in a few big pots at 200NL and 100NL and might not even be that far out on the bell curve. And this is why, cash game players typically look at their result in BB/100 rather than absolute dollar amounts. Another example would be, if a Zoo want to measure the weight gain or loss of its animal to see, if they are being suitable fed. Then it would also not want to measure an elefant and 50 mice simultaneously, because the weight gain or loss of the elefant would completely dominate that of the 50 mice. In tournaments we can have anything from a 500 chip starting stack in hyperturbo SnGs to 30.000 starting chips in MTTs, and this in itself mean, that a graph showing chips won or lost is similar to the above examples. Plus of course the fact, we build a big stack in MTTs, when we run deep, so its entirely possible to be involved in a 2 million chip pot, which could then lead to a deviation of 1,6 million chip for this one hand alone, if we got it in with QQ against JJ and lost. Which by the way is not even running bad, since we were lucky to be on the good side of a cooler, and likely it was just an unavoidable spot for both players. [/QUOTE]
