call, see what the river brings (what card, if he bets, what amount he bets)
Ok cool, so we call river bricks he bets like 3/4?

Here villain cbets J3o in a Ac9s7s flop with no equity at all (no overcards and not even BD draws) in a board not that dry, despite being ace-high. I can´t see good cards to barrel the turn, is it a good cbet in the fist place?

lots of good turn/river cards to barrel. when you get c/c on this flop you should be able to get plenty of hands <Ax to fold
im thinking we are barrelling bricks on the turn then? since J-6 connects with an oop calling range?

Here on 926 we get raised with QJ. Let's say we opt to float and the turn is a Jack, villain bets that and bets a river that does not complete any OESD are we going all the way with a jack given that this guy has shown very little aggression? I personally would be concerned about a set or at least an over pair if he raises flop bets turn and river.
What if we float, the turn is a jack but the river is a T or 5 that completes 78 and he bets OTT and shoves or bets big OTR are we calling down with QJ then?
Same scenario but the turn is a queen does that change anything? we now beat more hands but QJ on 926J and QJ on 926Q is roughly the same hand right?
I am a brand new member of Deucescracked and a beginner in 50nl headsup. wondering does the material on these videos go out of date after a few months or does it stay 100% relevant - have the games changed and has the standard got better ??

The content stays mostly relevant, although the newer the video is the more up to date it will be. Theory based videos are almost timeless, video reviews less so. I'd say for 2012, any video from 2011 (especially after 4/15) is going to be more or less in tune with the way games are playing now. If you're a beginner I would watch some of the structured heads up series first: try pr1nnyraiding 1, 2 and 3 or Heads Upside Down

calling down if you hit a pair -- the cards that improve us are enticing bluff cards for him. i wouldn't be worried about 78, most players are flatting the flop with that hand. if you have a good read that your opponent only raises the flop and then always shuts down if called, then you could argue that a turn or river fold is better... but you need a good read.

Good example of why playing aggressively has hidden benefits. This type of thing happens to a lot of people when they're faced with a really LAG opponent, especially one that's 3betting pre a lot because everyone hates getting 3bet. What I'm suggesting is to go back to that KQ hand (I know it was a different opponent, just making a point) where you got 4bet and consider shoving that next time around for the sake of how it will change your opponents game. If you take everything on a hand by hand basis you won't really be crushing people because whenever people are comfortable they're going to play fairly well (maybe not always at low stakes but still).
Also it seems that your notetaking might be a little too distracting at points ... I'm not sure you really need all those notes more than you need to just focus on the current hand and analyze it correctly, maybe just note the more "telling" hands.
