Hi, I've been using Poker Tracker recently and only have about 1200 holdem hands (mostly 2/4 and 1/2) in the database. I was checking my performance based upon position and was wondering what other people's experience with the blinds was. For people that have played substantially more hands than myself, what is your BB won/hand in the two blind positions? Mine, based on a very small sample, is -0.16 in BB and -0.08 in SB. Right now, my only two negative positions. I expect the blinds to be the two worst positions because you are often forced to put some money in with inferior hands, but what sort of averages should I be striving for? Along similar lines, what sort of BB won/hand is respectable for the optimal positions such as the button and cut off? Any input would be much appreciated.
Thanks, Ashley

Your losses in the blinds are pretty close to what others have posted here. I think your SB rate is actually one of the best I've seen.

1200 hands is nowhere near enough to judge your performance. youll need at least 10x that

My understanding through reading other posts about this is that everyone loses in the blinds.

My stats after almost 20,000 hands isn't pretty:
bb- -.14
sb- -.11
