Ledger #2 is for your actual results after each hand is played.
My position is each ledger is independent. So you might have had $10,000 of expected value on Day 6 in ledger #1, but ledger #2 will show an $8800 loss.
That's forever how I'll look at it. You won't agree and so we'll just have to disagree and move on. Good luck. And I hope that the next time you have $10,000 of EV that you actually win $20,000.
