Default Is it worth it to play heads up LIMIT with someone who you are not MUCH better than?

I was playing short handed .05/.10 limit for about 30 minutes or so and I was a little below what I started with (by like .40) and the table broke up but for one other player. I would say we were evenly matched so I played till I got even and left.

Taking the fact that it was .05/.10 out of the picture, is it worth playing heads up llimit with an evenly matched player? The only way I would say it would be is if you set an amount you will quit if you get to and then get out. You can assume swings up and down, so pick what you think is a reasonable high peak and when you hit it get out before you head back down into a valley. Sure you MIGHT hit a really huge run and get up $2-3 in that .05/.10 game but most likely winning $1- $1.50 is the high peak (assuming you are evenly matched, if they are a worse player I would say play till all they have is yours)

I also took into consideration that at any point they can leave so if they are thinking the same thing they might hit their big hand and then take your money and run, not letting you win it back. Bastards.......wait thats what I just suggested......hmmmmm

Thought?
