I'm just getting back into poker again now that I'm out of college, so I'm going to take a stab at this and I hope you all rip me apart because I'm completely terrible and out of practice.
My BR can barely justify $1.20s right now so I'm just .01/.02 grinding for a few weeks... But HU was a leak for me last time I got back into SnGs.

Standard if you have a read of his shove range, which I assume you know after you 50 hands of HU at this point. I think it's pretty standard in general?

Standard call. Bad luck Should be noted at this point Villain's stack size is ridiculously small so our decisions are easier?

Why call? He's broke, he has no manueverability, open shove... I think you're opening opportunities for yourself to get psyched out on the flop when you call here and he's that low relative to the BB.

Yeah I fold here too, his stack size is getting ugly enough and the blinds still haven't gone up. I'm at this point getting a little bit more choosy.

You're to the point here where you can actually respect his stack size and play some flops. Folding here was probably a good idea simply based on cards and aggression he should show with his stack size. You can't counter it without showing the goods.

Didn't need to make the call here, but... It's not totally terrible? Maybe it is. I can see getting tired of this and thinking he'd be tired too, so Q9o isn't terrible, especially given the odds due to the dead chips in the pot with that preflop raise. So, that's okay.

I don't call this, I think at this point where our stacks are close and blinds are still small we can pick a better spot than this before he gets ahead of our stack. You really should be past the all-in point now given stack sizes and blinds here unless an incredible opportunity shows up where you're almost certain you're ahead or very close behind. K3o I don't feel so good about.
Probably not completely terrible? I know we're not supposed to be results oriented but you ended up ahead of him when you got the chips in, so I guess that's a good thing.

I might actually try and raise with this just to see if stealing pots is going to be allowed now. Might be a bit spewy. I don't know. Folding is prob standard though?

Std bet here instead of tilty shove. You're probably only getting called here with pairs, Ax or some mixture of broadways (the broadways being rather loose). If I'm him I'm only calling you with cards that are ahead (A7+, KQo, KJs+, pairs).
If he shoves over top of me I'm probably calling. If he calls and I hit flop I'm cbetting/pushing.
Otherwise... I don't know. If I totally miss the flop, he's in position. Do I bet out/fold? Do I bet out/shove? Do I open shove the flop? Do I check/fold? Hmmm... That would have been an interesting hand.

Should have bet this preflop. And then flop. Etc. He would have likely folded or put his money in when he was still behind on the hand. You delayed by skipping a street of betting, potentially giving him that last card he needed to transparently sink you.
Like I disclaimed at the beginning, I'm completely out of practice and my HU game was a bit leaky before, so I don't know what I'm talking about... I'm more commenting on these so I can learn from this and hopefully you can too. Hoping someone who knows what they're doing will come along and correct what I put down or answer the questions I put down for some of these hands.
I'm going back to edit this so there's hand numbers. [EDIT] DONE
