1st hand of the SNG....I understand there wasn't much of a pot, but why not bet 20 or 40, it is highly unlikely that I have AK

3rd hand of the same SNG, and again, the river goes check/check....I don't understand why he wouldn't put out some kind of value bet.

IDK, maybe he just doesn't understand the game. Why did you call the raise with your hand in the second hand though?

When I play HU, I'll see a minimum raise with any hand, especially when the blinds are low. I tighten up considerably when the blinds increase. I find that too many people will fall in love with their premium PF hand, and cannot get away from losing a big pot if I flop big.

I usually try to seem like a calling station for the first 5 or 10 hands. I can then use that image to check/raise later on when I have a big hand, or call flop, call turn, and then bet out or c/r the river.

Seeing the flop with the minimum raise is pretty standard for me (during HU play, with the blinds very low), but my call OTT was an embarrassing chase for a low.
