Had a feeling I was beat here, but its pretty damn hard to laydown an overpair heads up when the opponent isn't raising you. I went all in on the river because I was certainly going to call an all in with this pot no matter what, so at least I had a chance here for him to call me if he had a 7 or something like that, which he'd probably would just check if I checked to him. Oh yeah, and I tried to shove on the turn but missed a 0 on the bet. :-)

Here's my overall stats in the tourney:

322 hands played and saw flop:
- 21 times out of 51 while in small blind (41%)
- 21 times out of 50 while in big blind (42%)
- 28 times out of 221 in other positions (12%)
- a total of 70 times out of 322 (21%)

Pots won at showdown - 23 out of 33 (69%)
Pots won without showdown - 54

Comments are more than welcome! I don't post these things for my health! :-)
