Since you were using your HUD, lets not forget that villain is producing this rather nitty line of:
BTN: 36.28 BB (VPIP: 19.12, PFR: 10.29, 3Bet Preflop: 3.70, Hands: 69) on a lol sample size it is true, but none the less you have seen him play very tight for the better part of an hour. Which makes a guesstimated range of

after you check raise the flop pretty optimistic IMO, if only because a villain this nitty will probably not be flatting a lot of those hands pre-flop. I also think the ranges on the charts in this thread are far too broad for the type of player your villain seems to be.

The ranges below show villain's flop decision when checked to and then their decision facing a x/r. Its not perfect of course, I didn't spend too much time fine tuning the betting/folding ranges.
This post is basing it's points on a description of the villain that is the antithesis of the player the villain seems to be. The ranges used for the calculations may be fine in a theoretical sense, but the hand was not played in theory, it was played in an actual game. I think that the results you get from your calculator are only as good as the data you give it to work with.
As for your point here,

Remember that with a c-bet you are risking 3bb-3.5bb to win 8bb; with the x-raise you are risking 10bb to win 12bb. This should always be a factor when you are debating c-bet versus x-raise.
also, this, fold pre:

I meant to point out earlier that you could actually fold this one pre. Not saying I never would bring it in, but A-2 is not a great hand in MP and the suited aspect should never be considered more than window dressing pre-flop, since suited hole cards only create as flush about 1 in 12 times. Also check raise larger, 1.5x original bet is pretty weak. If I'm going to check-raise bluff, I will go 2x or 3x the original bet. But I would not advise x-raise bluffing with your stack size anyway, because you risk getting pot committed to a bluff, which is not a good thing.

I’m curious as to how successful you have all been in mtt’s because maybe I’m missing a trick.
I've played around 9000 online MTT's and I've won over 130 times, which works out to a "not too bad' once every 70 tournaments. I've won one massive "donkament" with thousands of entries and others with over 1000 runners, but most of my wins have come in fields of 500 or less. About 40 of my wins have been in some form of Omaha, and I've also won tournaments playing 8-game, stud08, 5-card draw, and limit holdem. I've also won several hundred SNG's and MTTSNG's, no idea exactly how many and not inclined to go through my records to figure it out. My online cash rate is about 16%. I've won twice live, with 4 or 5 chops and about 20 cashes total from about 75 live tournaments.
