Apologies for not converting the hand. For some reason it kept saying "Invalid Hand" no matter what format I copied (Raw, etc).

Villain is fairly new reg, from 3k hands I know he opens UTG ~19.6 and really doesn't like to fold to 3bets from this position. So I'm pretty sure 3betting KQs for value is ok. What do you think about the hand itself? Considering the board texture I think he is pretty wide on the river. As I see it all of my options aren't that good:

Check/Folding and Check/Calling seems to be either exploitable or allows villain to play medium strength hands perfectly. And it seems that I'm left pretty much with shoving, I mean if I'm not shoving my TPTK type hands I feel I'm being extremely unbalanced. On the other hand I'm very rarely getting called by worse.

What do you think is the most EV play?

SB: $273.49 (136.7 bb)
Hero (BB): $209.15 (104.6 bb)
UTG: $200 (100 bb)
MP: $214.60 (107.3 bb)
CO: $204.55 (102.3 bb)
BTN: $237.50 (118.8 bb)

Preflop: Hero is BB with Qh Kh
UTG raises to $4.80, 4 folds, Hero raises to $19.60, UTG calls $14.80

Flop: ($40.20) Kd 3d 4d (2 players)
Hero bets $20.10, UTG calls $20.10

Turn: ($80.40) 5h (2 players)
Hero bets $40.20, UTG calls $40.20

River: ($160.80) 7c (2 players)
Hero ?

Hi guys,

I've been playing successfully HU for 2 years and now I'm returning to where I started - no limit shorthanded poker. At the moment I'm trying myself at nl50, but the thing is I'm really struggling. I really appreciate all the answers I can get and I hope that this will be a good learning community. Having HU background I feel that I have decent postflop skills and sense weaknesses very well, but I have serious fundamental issues in SH games.

Here are my stats. I put enormous effort to play only 25% of hands, but I ASSUME that:

1. I still seem to go to SD very often.
2. I cold call too much and play without initiative with weakish range
3. I leak money from SB! And I have no clue how to play it optimally!
4. I barrel not enough?

Can you recommend any videos on RunItOnce that touch these specific topics(especially SB)? Or maybe you can even give some advice yourself on stat values, ranges, maybe some other stats are bad and etc?

Any input is greatly appreciated!
