I like the way you think. (returning customers are the best customers).

In the example you gave I would expect opponent to be cbetting his button open with the OESD almost 100% of the time to which we would respond by c/r and getting a lot of value when he calls, which he usually will and his hand will now look like what it is, a bare OESD which let's us play close to optimally.
With standard big blind folding range I would myself not dare to bet q-high on a board with 3 high cards but since I dont play HE HU maybe my line of checking that flop is not good but in case that we are betting a OESD on 3high-card board then VILLAIN can check/raise but with today field of players aint it GTO to just call (two pair on rainbow) in that spot for VILLAIN and then decide on turn depending on the outcome? I am asking since I have no idea.
edit: My thought right now says that BB will call with Q7os with the intention of bluffing small blind/dealer and with JTs going after implied odds aiming to win the stack without bluffing. Like comparing a double barrelled shotgun with a Desert Eagle with scope sight.

I havent played HE HU sng or HE HU cash (Only the first quarter year when I started playing online poker I only played HU cash but those days was different... mm potraiser +80%rakeback
) and I have never used HUDs except for that software (2010-2011) that had all players hand on every site in their database allowed to all subscribers, that I tried but after outplaying a couple of 35%ers in a ring game I considered it cheating and removed the software.
I made it to HU in 180 player SNG and both of the times both me and VILLAIN played it passive by calling 75% of the playable hands, if I remember correctly I raised Q8os pre and got called by Q7os and we both flopped trips.
(in 6handed) I float loose players when having a deep stack in tournaments mostly often with Q7os on the button and avoided JTs if another player called the first bettor but I have no stats as I wrote. They say SC are better the merrier but my experience says Q7os is better three-way than JTs since the first callers range has worse than AQ but better than JTs in its range while the first raiser probably has us both covered.
