So I got speaking to Ket and he laid into me for grinding up from 10nl despite being both able to roll myself at 25nl and having an edge at it. Apparently this kind of thing is hugely bad for progress. Anyway he explained it to me and I got the roll and moved up. And then I got doomswitched and lost over 6 buyins (my stoploss). I wasn't playing badly and I checked a few of the bigger hands with Midian who confirmed they were coolers/beats. It was just one of those sick days where variance decides to take it out on you.
However, today she took pity on me and refunded me the entirity of my losses. While I know your expected outcome is in no way changed by previous luck I just had my second biggest winning day (in about 2 hours of poker, unlike the 10 of my biggest day) after my second biggest losing day. I'm still down a little over about 8k hands so well below my expected profit (I should be doing about 5bb/100) but in far better shape than I was. I definitely ran well today, and although I didn't suck out on anyone I feel that I won about 90% of my money going in on 70%s.

PT by default does not show Big Blinds/100 but Big Bets/100, and one Big Bet is 2xBig Blind. It comes from limit games, where you have a Small Bet (1x Big Blind) on the flop and a Big Bet on the turn and on the river.
In PT you can change the way your profits are shown from Bets to Blinds whenever you want. If you haven't changed anything since you bought PT, then you have Big Bets shown.
The vast majority of players use Big Bets.
