The very first hand of this HU SnG with an unknown villain. I enjoy the action but don't really know a lot about the best way to play these.

How would you handle this hand?

Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

BB: 75 BB
Hero (SB): 75 BB

Hero posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has 7 8

Hero raises to 2 BB, BB calls 1 BB

Flop: (4 BB, 2 players) 7 3 6
BB checks, Hero bets 2.65 BB, BB calls 2.65 BB

Turn: (9.3 BB, 2 players) 8

Flop is fine, turn bet is too big consid draws have now picked up TP with a dominated kicker so if the board does pair were out kicked but because we're in pos it doesn't matter as much, because we have blockers, hard for villain to be calling a turn bet with just the 6 not to mind a 3 so better to keep our bet smaller consid we pot control when were behind and value in a lot worse hands.
On the river your essentially turning your hand into a bluff consid we must fold to a raise and very little calls a 2/3 pot bet consid board/your hand so losing a lot of value.
Consid he did in fact call, he most Likly has a 6x hand like 65 or 89 were your out kicked.
