HeadsUp SNG?
generally.... play looser in SB.. tighter in BB (raising in SB preflop).
It is also pretty much dependant upon player reads... ie. if your opponent is tight/pass raise often... if they're loose/agg... trap them, check-raise them.. call them down a bit lighter than usual... If they're loose/pass (calling station).. raise more with big hands preflop (3-3.5x pre).. limp other hands in SB, value bet the hell out of them (play your big hands fast).

This ^.. is really just basic... simplified.... couple pointers sort-a-thing. I could look up a few articles and perhaps get off my ass & post them on here (need to pull them off other puter).

Ya normally I play SNG or MTT but when i get into heads up if i dont have a chip lead i just play on what i have read him with before... I know from a couple of people that heads up is really simple its just once you learn the odds and how well certain cards hold up you can almost beat someone by only playing the cards... I tend to stay away form Shoot Outs and things like that but ill try to give them a try i like your logic on SB Loose and BB tight
