HU Postflop play from BB...

When I get heads up early I like to do some small blind limping and min-raising from the BB when the SB limps just to get a feel for how he is going to play. What kind of hands does he limp with. What does his flop check mean? The answers to these questions will lead you to an answer. But when I'm unfamiliar with an opponent and especially with the blinds this big I'm usually not fooling around much post-flop.

I find that the most important thing in a HU STT situation -more so than the player's style - is what has happened in the previous HU hands. If I did not lead out and bet last hand on the flop I will in this spot (even with 8 high) more than half the time.

Well hero is BB so he can't lead out on the flop (in a sense taht he isn't first to act). And if villan is checking the flop a lot in these situations that would suggest he doesn't like his hand much and a bet could be in order.
