I hate this. The min checkraise is way to often the "this'll trap him" and your draw beyond sucks and doesn't really have that much FE. Any idea what he min raises with?

This is why i always take the specific note of when a player min raises pre/post flop and whether it was a monster or not.

sorry if my post was confusing 1010x flop x turn no FD I shover over his turn c/r with KJo. I generaly think people are FOS when they take the obv line that people used to take in cash games in a tourney. But more often its the good than the the 3bet shove will work.

bad play by you IMO (in the absence of a specific read). do you assume hes bluffing? why?

i think he's rarely bluffing. you still have a chance because he might fold a queen or a medium pp, but man, i wouldn't bet my tournament on it

I think he is bluffing because I don't think he would check a 2 or Q a 2nd time once the 3rd heart hits the board. He could have a flush I suppose, but I would expect him to think for a second about whether he should just call, or what amount to raise to.

IMO, you played every street incorrectly:

Preflop: I fold this garbage. You have a decent stack, and the blinds are small. I see no need to get involved here.

Flop: Why did you elect to check from behind? Since you chose to raise with your garbage before the flop, you need to follow-through when your opponent checks and the flop looks like it missed.

Turn: I have no idea why you shoved, after the villain's check-min-raise. The min-raise is solely read-dependent; some players do it with the nuts, while others do it with middle pair or draws, etc. Others do it with all of their hands, so it doesn't tell you anything.
