Re: The Pre Flop Raise
I see a couple of plausible explanations. In the grand scheme of things, there's not *that* much difference between minraising, raising 3x (don't call it 3 betting, that means reraising somebody who raised you), and Jesusing raising 2x early and 3x late. It would take a lot of tournaments to confidently assert a difference.
1) Variance (in a good way) since you started minraising more.
2) You were raising too light, and now you get punished less on your light raises.
3) You're taking a different psychological approach to the tournament and actually playing better postflop with your smallball mindset.
4) Your opponents see a minraise and do stupid things.
1 and 3 seem the most likely to me.
