My poker tracker shows me that 39% are winning and 61% are losers.

Haven't you been on here long enough to know that these two datapoints actually support each other?

Your session results will form a bell curve around your long term true win rate, the steepness of which depends on your standard deviation. The peak of the curve coincides with your true win rate.

Now picture this in your mind, put the top of the curve at -3BB/100. Notice that a wide part of the curve is in the black?

Its rare, but I admit I am very confused, I havent taken statistics in 8 years, can you explain in layman's terms?
