I feel like my opponent's are adjusting to me now and I no longer have an edge. When I started I was winning 50% of the games I play. Now I'm barely hitting 33%.
I need to develop some stronger fundamentally sound strategies rather than trying to exploit everyone, because they are playing too balanced. I used to play $50 HU SNGs a few years back and would make easy money, but now the HU part is where I struggle the most because people 3-bet relentlessly and I don't know GTO.
You def can go wider with iso than os calling range, for example, adding low suited connectors and Kxo.
Yes your xback range will be weak and is supposed to be weak and thats fine, dont forget people are likely to limp weak ranges too.
And on the last one you are totally wrong, forget about gto, study your database, check % of different ranges, check ranges to get a feel what hands are in those ranges. And do a shitton of calculations.
Like in your last example, you can use gto ofc but lets say guy is actually 3betting 40% (99% of the time people actually 3bet less than you think or your hud says), gto would raise/fold something like A6o which would be huge mistake vs this guy and raise/fold a lot of other hands which vs this particular guy makes sense to limp or raise/call for example.
Check what you should raise call vs 40% 3bet, 35% 3bet, look what if its top30% what if mixed ranges etc.
gto is not an answer, I remember reading somewhere in freeqone thread where he discovered that playing gto vs fish is bad, which is obvious and using gto preflop ranges vs fish is especially bad.
