I was thinking about trying the other forms of HU SNGs, but right now I only play those forms in MTT-form, which goes nicely as well. I might mix it up later on when I feel like playing some more post-flop.

I just finished my session of 38 games after I've watched a video this morning. Watching video's always keeps me sharp during the game and keeps me inspired to try new things and think different about certain spots.
One guy was constantly rematching me, which I didn't mind cause he seemed to have a few leaks, but couldn't really beat variance. One hand was interesting because of what I did on the flop:

Villain didn't really c/r a bunch, but I of course wouldn't mind stacking off with top 2 pair here. For some reason I decided that shoving would be a bit too much, so I made it 200. I think I should at least make it bigger or just shove straight away. First of all I'm not really happy with a rather big amount of turns, second of all I think my hand looks a lot stronger when I make it 200 instead of shoving straight away.

So Villain just calls and the turn is rather ugly, but up to this point I'm also not sure what his range is right here. I suppose he would ship his (pair+)draw hands, but might just peel one off with a naked straight draw (which seems too thin as well). Since I didn't feel like getting away from this hand because there are still alot of draws and lower 2 pairs possible, I decided to ship it in anyway, knowing I still have 4 outs when he's got the 6.

So he fold and I still have no clue what hand he could have played like this... probably some horribly played pair+gutshot.
So another hand against the same guy, this was also played very early in the session, so no reads or whatsoever.

I decide to just call his c/minr on this board since it can be anything really. I'm not that happy with my hand, but it's still TP.

So this is where the hand becomes a bit awkward, he c/minraises flop and fires extremely low on the turn. I would think that most valuehands just want to bet bigger and get it in on the river, so his bet didn't really make much sense and I saw no reason to fold my Jack, even thought the flush draw arrived.

Again a smallish beter from Villain, but right here I think I made the mistake and should just fold my hand. There is nothing in his range that I beat, because also as a bluff it doesn't make any sense considering the way he played that hand. I split at max with any other jack and lose from any flush, trips and some straight draw that got there on the river. But he managed to keep me in the pot with his low betsizing.

Looking at his hand he should have bet the turn bigger and try to get it in on the river against my perceived range after my flop call.
This hand against another unknown guy.

So this hand isn't very complicated I think, preflop and flop is standard. The turn I just check behind because it's far from a scarecard. On the river he suddenly jams and that made me think. Because I checked the turn behind I might look a bit weak, so first of all it doesn't make sense to overshove the river there, cause what am I gonna call here where he's getting value from? So for that reason I don't see so many valuehands in his range. Nobody would overshove Kx, Tx or any other pair here, but would just make a proper valuebet. He might have stumbled upon some 2pair hand, but that is unlikely and I also wouldn't expect an overshove. So I figured he would have a significant amount of bluffs in his range, trying to get me off my air. Unfortunately for him, my air rivered a pair, so I'll make the rivercall.

I checked the flop behind because I think this board hits his calling range bigtime and I don't wanna waste my equity I've got with my gutshot and rather take a free card.

So here he checks again and I decide to fire because I'd expect him to lead out all his Qx, Tx and strong draws for value. When he calls I basically put him on some 9 or 7 with a gutshot or a 98 sort of hand.

So when he checks into me again on the river, I presume he doesn't have an ace too often besides maybe A9, A8, A7. All higher aces would probably be 3bet preflop. A flushdraw he also doesn't have that often because my flop checkbehind would indicate I'm rather weak, so he'd definitely fire that on the turn. And even if I don't represent that much beside maybe a Qx, I think he'll have a very hard time calling 9x or 7x here.
