Chip result
How many big blinds you actually won or lost, luck included.
Last updated
- What it means
- The chip result is the plain score: your stack now minus your stack at the start. It includes every lucky and unlucky runout.
- How it is calculated
- Add the chips won or lost in each hand. Put it next to all-in EV: the difference between the two is how much the cards ran above or below expectation.
- Worked example
- After 30 hands you are up 7bb, but your all-in EV is −2bb. You got 9bb luckier than your decisions deserved, and the result would likely reverse over time.
- Why it matters
- Results are what people remember, and they mislead. Seeing the chip result beside all-in EV keeps a lucky run from teaching bad habits.
