Heads up cash

I've mentioned before how foolish it is to play a lot of heads up hands in a cash game. The reason is simple - if you're evenly matched with your opponent, all either of you is really doing is paying the rake. When you're both taking a minimal amount of time to act, however, it can be mighty hard to step away from the table. Last night, towards the end of my participation in the cash game I entered, I played 55 straight heads up hands. At the start of this stretch, I had $166,903 in chips and my opponent had $940,219; at the end of it, I had $162,981 and he had $937,744. I felt good about holding a much bigger stack at bay for that long, but I was really starting to feel the rake eating into our stacks and was glad when another player joined the table.

During current Hold'em session you were dealt 119 hands and saw flop:
 - 39 out of 49 times while in big blind (79%)
 - 36 out of 49 times while in small blind (73%)
 - 11 out of 21 times in other positions (52%)
 - a total of 86 out of 119 (72%)
 Pots won at showdown - 13 of 32 (40%)
 Pots won without showdown - 26
