This is exactly what I mean, I was merely using the graph of an example of how people (including myself) read too much into PokerEV whereas there are so many more ways that variance can affect winrate other than just Sklansky bucks on showdown winnings.

If you get KK<AA 4 times you are not running well. The fact that you win once when you were only likely to win 0.8 is a small relief and you could still be down 3 buyins due to coolers.

Essentially we agree but we're differing in the terminology. If I have been coolered the shit out of but my Sklansky bucks in SD pots is still marginally above EV I would not consider myself to be running well in general, but slightly well in one specific measurable part. As you say, we're splitting hairs.

Another decent day yesterday, up $250ish.
