Heads up nightcap

On Thursday night, I got to play 37 hands of heads up poker at the end of the session. My opponent decided to quit when he couldn't make a dent in my stack. I was up a small amount during that stretch - $3,664. Though I really enjoy playing heads up poker, that's not where I make my money in cash games. I decided to aggregate my cash game deltas by table size to see where my profit comes from. The results surprised me a bit:

2      $-36,947  (    844)
3      $-29,860  (  1,696)
4     $-351,590  (  2,983)
5      $335,172  (  4,854)
6      $330,541  (  6,502)
7    $1,325,475  (  9,831)
8    $2,117,035  ( 13,699)
9    $2,486,170  ( 10,668)


The numbers in parentheses are the number of hands played at that table size. It's very clear that the more players at the table there are, the more profit I make. I really expected my sweet spot to be at the 7 player data point, but the clear winner is a full ring of 9 players. Go figure! :-)

During current Hold'em session you were dealt 97 hands and saw flop:
 - 31 out of 33 times while in big blind (93%)
 - 29 out of 36 times while in small blind (80%)
 - 12 out of 28 times in other positions (42%)
 - a total of 72 out of 97 (74%)
 Pots won at showdown - 18 of 29 (62%)
 Pots won without showdown - 22

delta: $13,909
cash game no limit hold'em balance: $6,911,279
balance: $9,816,378
