How do I read sng graphs?

How does EV work in HUSNG's? I've recently switched from playing cash and I'm not totally sure how it works with sng's.

 

I watched the first video of Two Men Enter on DC and got off to a bad start. I then watched the 2nd video and had a $90 day, I was shocked and thought these games were going to be easy af. I then watched the 3rd video which was about cbetting/bluffing and thats when my results went from good to bad. At around 407 games I stopped the bluffing and was only cbetting when I actually had a hand. 

Does my EV line actually represent how I've been playing and I'm just getting unlucky? I've read somewhere that it basically means I'm just getting it in good on the final hand. 

And does anybody have any reccomendations on what I need to be reading/watching to beat the micro's. As far as I know, I only came across 2 or 3 regs on 888 at these stakes, the rest are usually complete fish who are just gambling.

Okay, now I'm confused. I was

Okay, now I'm confused. I was just looking around on PT and switched the speed to 'normal' and this is my graph for normal speed games....

And this is my graph for turbo speed...

 
The only problem is that I haven't played any 'normal speed' games, only turbo's and super turbo's...

In short: the green line

In short: the green line shows your gain. The "yellow" line shows your expected gain.
Imagine this: you are going all in with AA, your opponent calls and you have a 80% chance to win, meaning that you are entitled to gain 80% of the pot. Ignoreing the possibility of a tie, you will either gain 100% of the pot = running ABOVE ev or lose the pot (gain 0%) = running BELOW ev.
Eventually and over a very big sample size the EV line (yellow line) and your gain (green line) should become close to each other.

So I'm just experiencing some

So I'm just experiencing some bad luck atm? Could you explain the 'normal speed' graphs and the 'turbo speed', I haven't played any normal speed games...

Basically, how exactly should

Basically, how exactly should I be looking at graphs and stats to review my game?

You cannot review your games

You cannot review your games based on your winnings-graph. You might have a terrible winning graph because you ended up shoveing KK and getting set up versus AA or you might actually be the guy with the AA.
If you want to review your matches, you have to review them. You need to analyze them.

Eh, maybe "review my game"

Eh, maybe "review my game" wasn't the best way to put it. 
I'm not sure how to read the graphs at all. I'm 20BI*'s below EV in prizes but if I switch it to 'Winnings in: BB:" I'm 3k BB's up, same goes with "Winnings in chips", I'm 45k up.
