Been a while since I've played for real money, but won a few $ in a freeroll I was playing when bored the other day, so decided to give $0.50 SnGs a go this time and see how I fare in them compared to cash games.

River: (t3030) K♥ (2 players - 2 are all in)
My thoughts:
Preflop - Raise of 3xBB + 1xBB for limper
Flop - Think I might the right choice cbetting here vs 1 opponent even if I missed the board, he min raises, I figured calling another 180 chips was okay here because I'd already invested 300 in the hand and an A or heart would put me in a good spot to extract some value.
Turn - Anything other than a heart or A would be C/F, obviously I'm delighted to see a heart, and since villain was aggressive on the flop I decide to check-raise.
Thoughts? I'm particularly unsure about my flop play. Would it have been better to cbet/fold or even just check?
