I've been looking through my PT stats and although I have a small sample size, I notice my hands that reach the flop heads-up are only breakeven, a pretty terrible result for a generally winning player (multiway pots are big moneymakers). Particularly when I cold call (very rare - 90/30,000 hands), I'm losing a lot of money. In fact, the most money has been lost cold calling with AK and KQ. That COULD be just small sample size, but I'm inclined to suspect my play.
Anyways, I need to study my postflop headsup play- anyone have any resources or strategies they'd recommend?

Stop cold calling OOP. If I cold call oop it's either because I'm set-mining or because I want to get frisky and C/R a lot of flops.

I almost never cold call OOP, but good advice nonetheless. AK I've been cold calling with vs very tight players, 3betting unkowns, average types, and looser. Think it's a leak to flat a tighty who raises from EP? I could just let it go, or I could 3bet, but I'm not convinced it'll be profitable to do so.
Anything else?

AK and KQ does not play well in pots with a lot of BB's behind post flop. You need to learn more about SPR's.

stop cold calling with big cards, 3bet or fold.
Stop calling oop unless you are looking to make the nuts
