And now the blue boxes

82.41% of Player A’s downswing stretches will last over 5000 hands
60.18% of Player B’s downswing stretches will last over 5000 hands
So, ~18% of Player A’s downswings will last fewer than 5000 hands, compared to ~40% of Player B’s downswings. (A downswing stretch is defined by the amount of hands it takes to get back to the peak of your graph.)

As you can see, Player B’s higher win-rate means he experiences shorter and shallower downswings.

If you’re a live player, finding out your approximate win-rate in big blinds per 100 hands (BB/100) is extremely difficult. This is because of the sheer number of hands needed to provide a large enough sample combined with the absence of tracking software.

IDN POKER players face a similar problem. Because tournaments have much more variance than cash games, it can be difficult to assess your win-rate even when using tracking software. This is exacerbated by the fact that the decisions made by tournament players will be for chips, which don’t have a concrete value.
