adjusted roi graph

Hey maybe someone can explain how roi adjusted graph works and how relevant it is. If you shove say AA and lose to 77 for example will roi go down in the graph. Just I have played some hands where I know I'm ahead getting it in and lose and the adj roi goes down on the graph?

I've only recently come back

I've only recently come back after a long break so I might have this wrong...

Pokertracker can only adjust when you get to showdown, whether it is all in or not. If you don't get to show down, it just accepts the result as being fact.

Consider these two situations:

AA v 77. You limp PF. Villain calls. (Pot 40)
26Jr flop. You cbet. Villain calls. (Pot 80)
7 on the turn. You shove. Villain calls. (Pot 1000)

You will be massively negative adj ROI because you put 460 chips in while behind, and only 40 chips in while ahead. Meanwhile you might consider yourself +adj ROI because, damned if he wasn't lucky to hit that 7.

Situation number 2.

You're a massive nit. You spend most of the tournament folding until the chip stacks are 180 and 820.
You then open shove AA and villain calls with 77. Yes you will gain some adj ROI from that one hand, but overall for the entire tournament you'll be massively negative adj again because you've just folded over half your starting stack. Although you might think you deserve to be positive adj because 'I always got it in good'.
 

Hope this helps, and if I'm terribly wrong, hope someone corrects me :)
