See, this is why I think you're still confused about what the graphs indicate. The blue line being above or bellow the green has nothing to do with how good or bad a player is. It has to do with how lucky he was. If he was lucky, blue would be above, if unlucky, it will be bellow.
The way to tell if someone is good or bad (at least in all in situations) is by examining the green line by itself. A good player will have a green that climbs steadily up. This means he's been getting the money in good most of the time. Of course, coolers will effect that, if you shove KK and run into AA, you are getting your money in bad and the graph will dip and that doesn't mean you're playing bad. A bad player will have the green line going steadily downwards.
Here are my graphs for ring games:
This one is my entire history. My green line line is consistently going up which indicates I'm getting it in good. You can see periods where I ran bad as indicated by the red line dipping and where I ran good by it climbing. As you can see, I've been running bad lately.
This one is a sample of a short period where I ran bad. My green line indicates I should be wining but in fact I'm loosing as indicated by the blue line. The red line in turn shows a big dip.
Here in turn I'm running good for a short while. My green line still indicates I'm getting it in good but my blue line is exceeding expectations so I'm wining more than my fair share. It doesn't break it down to types of hands. It could be because I'm wining more than coin flips that I should or that I'm never loosing pair over pair or even that I'm sucking out more than I should be when I get it in bad. It doesn't matter. All that matters is that I'm running above expectations for this period.
Of course, lifetime, I'm about 12 buy ins bellow expectations so technically, I'm still in the red as far as luck goes
