Default Re: Inexperienced MTT player looking for late-stage advice

The worst play you can make as a short/medium stack is to open the pot with a normal raise (3-4BB) and then fold to a reraise. So either open the pot with all-in, or only open the pot when you have good enough hand to call a reraise with.

Would you say that with an above average stack, late in the tournament, it would be okay to come in for the minimun raise and the fold to a reraise unless you have a monster? From my experience, the last few tables seem to be all about steeling binds until two players lock horns with big cards. I was doing things like raising the minimum amount (which could be 10 to 15% of my stack) with QJo from a middle position. Then if I got raised from another big stack I just folded.
