Ok I finally get to HU. This is the 7th hand of HU and the 4th consecutive time that villain has 3b jammed my min raise from the btn. Do I just go with this hand close my eyes and hope?

I play heads up a lot so I can tell you what I'd do in this situation:

Snap call and high five myself as he turns over 8To, dodge his 6 outs and take it down.

If this is the one time out of the 4 he has AJ+ its kind of unfortunate but KJ is a pretty big hand HU.

Just so you know this is often a tactic used by someone who has been straight up owned several times by a good heads up player and wants a random number generator to decide the game rather than playing post flop and getting owned again.

thanks for that…. interestingly, everytime I flatted his min raise I did outplay him on the flop. So I thnk your read was right he was just scared to play HU and take a gamble….. I did call here and he flips 94o laugh ….. obv he gets there.

Im not thrilled about it, I need to look at a push fold chart but I think to may be best to shove pre if he is 3 bet shoving a lot because he often does it with hands with a ton of equity and over a small sample I don’t love guessing if my call is profitable or not, it’s pretty rough either way bc likely either isn’t highly ev and hyper variant for both

I would not be playing push/fold when both stacks are pretty even. I'd be playing that properly down to around 8bb before going into shove fold mode. I just don't think after being shoved on 4 times that you can fold KJ against a random MTT player HU. I can see your point that you are guessing about whether you're right or not but against this type of player I am getting it in way wider than normal because he is shoving too wide.
