Your allin graph shows the luck factor or variance of your allin situations. For example, if you shove and get called at any point in the hand and at that point you are a 80% favorite to win the pot and let's say the pot is $10 (just to make it ez), then what this graph does is chart what your expected value would be, versus the actual results. So the expected value line would give you $8 in the above scenario no matter what happened - because if you did this over and over and over, you would expect on average to win 80% of the pot which would be $8. Then if you won the pot, the other line would chart your $10 pot (if you took a bad beat, it would chart you losing it).
So basically you can look at this graph and see if you're making good decisions in allin situations or just getting lucky.
NOTE - this is only for allin situations.
Many people don't realize how you can misinterpret this graph. For example, you have AA, you raise, get a caller. Flop comes a bunch of rags. You bet, dude shoves, you call, he flips over a set. Did you get unlucky? Well yes. Will it show on this graph? No, because at the point that you went allin you were already screwed. Preflop your expected value was great, but your expected value from this pot when you called the shove was tiny. Now if you happen to suckout, sure, then you'll notice a blip on this graph because you actually beat the odds.
Make sense?
