The baseline statistics compare how you did to how Slumbot would have done with your cards in your seat. A 🧲 positive value for baseline earnings mean you did better than Slumbot would have done against itself given your cards and 🧲 sitting in your seat.

Here's an example with a single hand. First Slumbot deals out cards for the board (let's say 🧲 AhTd4c9s3h), the button (let's say AdKh) and the big blind (let's say TsTc). Then Slumbot plays itself on these cards. 🧲 Let's say that the players get all-in (since they both have strong hands). So the result is -20,000 for the 🧲 button.

Now you get to play Slumbot on these same cards. Let's suppose you're the button. Perhaps you put in 8,000 🧲 chips on the early streets but manage to fold to a large bet on the river. Your outcome is -8,000 🧲 for this hand.

Your baseline outcome is how much better (or worse) you did than Slumbot did against itself. Your baseline 🧲 outcome here is +12,000 which is the difference between -8,000 and -20,000.
