EV = expected value

ROI = return on investment

I wouldn't rely on sharkscope to rank you as it has to work within a very narrow set of rules and definitions.

Also in tournies it takes a decent sample size to actually know your roi due to the top heavy payout structure and how much one result can skew it.

This is why taking records of ALL your play and results is very important.
