should i have shoved the flop?
I think you should of raised more pre-flop
but on the flop you played it fine, u were ahead.
Nicehand.
Check the flop and then fold to any bet...Why? you're kicker sux+flush draw+straight draw,either way a fold would have been better not knowing what opponent has, this isn't a spot where to risk 1st place to be honest.
Heads-up = play the opponent. You should know what your opponent may have here, and then decide. If you think you're ahead you could check/raise or check/call to try to go to showdown.
I'm far from a HU expert.
We want to raise to about 2200 imo (maybe less). 3bb's is extreme in a HU game.
Post flop, play the oponant, its pretty impossible to say.
But imo sinsst is wrong, top pair low kicker is a good hand in HU.

Hi Semesa (vs unknown I would)...
Preflop is OK. We can also reraise all-in preflop as we have Ax (which is close to the nuts heads up this shortstacked) and a ton of fold equity. And we win a massive pot without showdown if he does fold.
Flop, CHECK. When villain bets, we can either raise him all-in or call his bet.
@Sinsst, NONONONONO. Top pair heads up is very good! Please for heaven's sake don't check/fold this.
My advice of play since in the BB would be FOLD or shove all-in. You have A (not a strong one) but it might be enough to make him fold. Plus your out of position on the flop :P.
heads-up in a tourney is about playing the player and less about the cards
push preflop allows you to force him into makes a question about his tournament life , if he calls it's fine as and normaly your A is ahead 56% to 44% and even if you lose your stack is still ok
calling just allows him to hit something on the flop as well as he has position on you , if you push per the chances are that he will fold but it's still better than allowing him to suck out
A push is best, I agree. But a call is definitely also OK. Especially if villain is tight (I mean by HU standards!)
This is totally dependent on reads/history w the villain
Against most opponents i would probably shove over the min raise pre w ax.
If you choose to set a trap as i guess you have, plan on check raising ai if u hit the a. Most players will c-bet any flop after they raise pre hu.
I definitely think check raise ai is the best line on this flop.
Sinsst WTF!!!

By the way, whatever line u took, its a big cooler.
The dh hit a gutshot at the end of the day when u had him crushed 80:20 on the flop when the chips went in.
