$EV Won stat in HEM

What does this stat $EV Won mean? How much you should have won in your all in situations? My real question is this a stat to prove that I'm just running bad and not utterly playing bad(which is for sure a posibility, but I think i've been playing fine) or does it not really mean much?I know people say don't look at charts but they are nice I think, lol, and right now my ROI is negative but when I check to show it $EV Adjusted it is positive. In my graph my $EV line is positive while my actual winnings are negative.Thanks!

I agree with boulas. Since I

I agree with boulas. Since I stopped caring about ev line I have been much less stressed about my results. It's a lose/lose situation - eithera) you are above your red line - kinda disappointing as you are apparently not as good as your results (not necessarily a bad lesson), but still kinda depressingorb) you are below your red line - you are officially running bad, which for many can be very tiltingIt's not like I totally ignore it, if it is going down massively then I will stop to think about my game, but otherwise I just see if it is going generally up/down. You will go crazy focusing on it too much. I also greatly doubt its accuracy - while it often seems to be reasonable, other times I notice games where the $ev calculations really don't seem to add up. e.g. if villain hits 3outer/backdoor flush on river just before final stacks go in, I believe that doesn't earn you any $ev because the stacks went in after it hit, so it doesn't register as very unlucky. Plus, through poor card distribution your ev line can go down quite a lot even though you are playing well.Either way, I just pretty much ignore it.If your $ev line is over your green line then be happy you are playing well, just running bad.
