My thinking was he had set or two pair so I ended up folding... I don't know if this is correct any analysis is appreciated.

well i would definately bet more on the flop, as for the rest of the hand im not quite sure...

more pre, more on the flop, bet turn

the turn check is the biggest mistake imo, you will still get called by worse hands and if one of them raises you can usually just fold, by checking you often let them both see a free river with hands that would have called a bet, and the CO probably isn't going to bluff often at all into two other people

river is probably a fold as played, hard to come up with many worse hands that he'd be value-betting and as said before it's unlikely he's bluffing

Pre: The shortest stack at your table is 30BB, and plenty are well over 50BB. With aces, you should be raising WAY more than the minimum. One thing I've noticed about deep-stacked games is that fish are much more willing to spew

Flop: Again, you're betting too small. You have no reason to fear you're behind right now, so get at least 5-6K in there.

Turn: Don't see why you checked there, that was a pretty harmless turn. No one's calling pre with Q8 or J8, and 88 wouldn't have called a flop bet with two overs. Either you're behind QJ/55 (assuming either is capable of slowplaying them on the flop or loose enough to call pre), or you're good. And believe me, their ranges are MUCH wider than those two hands at this point. So either bet straight up, or shove after his bet (it'll be just over pot-sized, but any smaller amount = commitment).

River: Pretty bad card, it just made a lot of hands you beat into hands that beat you. I'd hate to fold, but CO is suddenly coming out of nowhere with his betting, and I wouldn't be surprised if he woke up with like KQ or AT. See, this is why you gotta play aces fast and hard, because by the time they get to turns or rivers, suddenly they don't seem to have as much value, do they? Stupid lucky fish always drawing out

This.

Thanks for response, in my experience with rush tourneys early position min raises from bigger stacks tend to get reraised but it didn't work out this time.

more pre/flop. Turn and River both seem fine to me.

If ur hand is best otf turn doesn't change but river does.
