hate it when i feel like i am playing well but just go nowhere

First rebuy hand is unlucky. In the 2nd hand you both played it after the flop fine. Perhaps you have raised more preflop - that's the only thing that might've got him to fold Q8o.

min raising is pretty standard at this point in the tourney

it is something that, 2 months ago, i would NEVER have done, but since watching a lot of the TPE videos it really has a lot of merits to it when you have a 20-40bb stack, because it allows you to manoeuvre postflop. a 3x or even 2.5x bloats the pot and means it is much harder for you to play postflop.

Fair enough. I would think it makes putting people on ranges harder though. What range do you put the BB on? I think he calls with pretty much any two.

Interesting thing is even with that raise size a c-bet/bet on the flop pretty much commits you. In the specific case once you bet and he calls you have 48K behind with 56K in the pot. Do you give up if an Ace comes?

This is a good thing because it means we play lots of small buy still significant pots in position and most of the time they just give up when they don't hit

From the flop I was stacking off no matter what the turn was so my bet size on the flop was geared for me to shove turn

In this hand i probably should have just shoved pre but they were folding a whole bunch so I thought it was still ok to go for the min raise

WTF??? mistook fold for call, LOL!
