nothin too crazy here just wanted some help with my bet sizing. im sure i needed to bet more on the turn. i bet that amount to try to look like a weak float and steal attempt. my thinking was that if he actually hit the flop (which he did) that the turn was a perfect blank for him to jam.

Poker Stars $4.00+$0.40 No Limit Hold'em Tournament - t500/t1000 Blinds + t100 - 4 players

CO: t64530 M = 33.96
BTN: t83230 M = 43.81
Hero (SB): t85740 M = 45.13

Pre Flop: (t1900) Hero is SB with 8

2 folds, Hero raises to t2000, BB calls t1000

Flop: (t4400) 4

(2 players)
Hero checks, BB bets t3000, Hero calls t3000

i would usually go something like:
2600 pre
4400 flop
9999 turn
whatevas left river

as played i kinda like over-betting the river enough to put him in, since it looks like you have Xd and missed and $4 players hate to fold.

min raising pre is fine with a histroy of him being rather nitty, its not relaly a hand you want him to call but if hes folding a lot you can put in the min and accompish the same as 2.5-3k...

as played I usually resort to a stack a donk line here...

bet like 3100 on flop and try to crai turn.....If his turn bet doesnt set up an easy crai I might just call and shove all rivers(except maybe a d)

so the general agreement is to lead out otf? is this regardless of past activity, such as actively opening and cbetting most flops?

minraising bvb is pretty bad because they're gonna have position on you if they call, a good player can profitably call with pretty much atc. I'd only do it if you have a strong read that they suck and will fold a lot.

so if i minraise every time i open, youre saying i should more than minraise every time i open bvb? im new to minraising.. usually go with the universal 2.5-3x but i thought id try it out for this tourney, figured id stay consistent with it, regardless of hand or table position.
