Need Explanation - Tournament Graph Lines

[stevenmiller004]

Hello,

I am sure this topic has been answered many times. I tried to find something on the forum or FAQs,but could not find anything. I appreciate your help with this.

I am trying to figure out exactly what the yellow and orange lines mean on the tournament winnings graph. I understand what it means when the winnings are flipped to BB's. However, when the winnings are shown in "prizes", I am trying to figure out what everything means.

Can someone explain the difference between the yellow and orange lines please? I know these are based off ICM factors, but I am trying to figure out what they mean exactly. If anyone can shed some light on the formulas used for these and what the differences are between them that would be great.

Thanks!

The orange line uses the same y-axis as the green line but it has an adjustment to tournament winnings based on your all-in hands.

The yellow line is winnings in chips with an adjustment based on your all-in hands. This line uses the second y-axis on your screenshot as it's in chips and not prizes.

I know these are based off ICM factors, but I am trying to figure out what they mean exactly. If anyone can shed some light on the formulas used for these and what the differences are between them that would be great.

The following guide covers net adjusted calcuations for the yellow line in your graph. The example is a cash game hand but the same can be applied to tournament chips:

This next guide covers the ICM calculations which is used for the orange line in your graph:
