That's why iso-raises were invented.
With the rise of GTO theory, if they're not limping they're min-raising. I'm not sure which is more annoying.

Yep - we just have to develop a tactic to combat it is all - might have been just the one game I played where I noted it, but will keep an eye out for it going forward for sure.

Would be careful with those and choose the iso-range carefully. There are many limp-callers out there in those limits. 
They limp like A2s, you jam and they call anyway.

Yep, pretty much my approach here is to fold and wait for better spots and to not get involved in pissing contests over 2BBs ♦
Wednesday Wrap
So yesterday I played 10 $0.50 Sit & Go games.
Before mass multi-tabling, I decided to stick with 2 games at a time. This allows me to make notes, learn player tendencies at this level, and format some strategies based on those.
ICMIZER is great and all, but probably for this level a basic understanding is all that is required (that said, I will see out the trial and use it to full effect)
In 10 games, there were 4 cashes - 3 Gold medals with one Silver. VERY happy about that!
What I am happier about is the fact there were little to no mistakes in there in both calling and pushing ranges AND in most cases, I played the villain and not the hands (especially when ITM) and took advantage where possible.
Could just be the "honeymoon" period but nevertheless I am pleased.

I did a lot of zwifting 2 years ago. But I sold my Tacx last summer because it was collecting dust and not sweat 
The deck doesn't owe you anything

We use a vacuum cleaner for that. 
I had to look up zwifting. I guess I'm not too zwift
Poker Update:
Since Wednesday I have played a number of small sessions - totalling to 20 $0.50 SNGs.
Overall, we have turned a profit of $7.89 or 15.78 in buy-ins!
8 1st places
1 2nd place
1 3rd place
For a 50% ITM
ROI is 78.9%
Very happy with this progress - checking for mistakes in each game but focussing mostly on solid ABC poker for the most part and playing the players in situations where I can take advantage.
Will graduate from 2 tables to 4 at times I'm feeling fresh and then 6 and possibly 8.
I haven't run particularly well or badly in this small sample so too early to declare it a heater even though this ROI is unsustainable.
Likely done for live sessions this week - will focus on ICMIZER study before deciding on buying a 3 month sub.

I had $27 in TAF so I can get a payout of $102
Decision time....
Add $100 to my roll and move up to $1s on Stars
Buy HM3 for $60 and add $40 to my roll on Stars - grind some more $0.50s and move up after I reach $120-$124
Add $50 to partypoker and see how their $1 Sit & Gos are like
Will think about it, but would love some opinions!

That would have been my recommendation as well, runner-up being C. You already mentioned that it's not primarily about the money for you, so no need to pump more funds into it. Better to either get something with long-term benefits, or something that opens up new opportunities.

Holdem Manager has a one-time fee now? Wow! it does!
I've been using PT4 for ages and I tried Hand2Note for short-deck since PT4 doesn't.
I sent you a message on Skype. If you don't use it any longer let me know...
