Minraising in mtt's

[wdeadwyler]

Ive noticed in the freeroll/small buy in tourney's I play people minraise ALL the time. It is very annoying to deal with again and again. I know this post is very general, but Im hoping to get some good discussion about defending against the minraise in tourney's. Its much more effective than in a cashgame, where I would call the minraise with my 100+bb stack, but when I have only 15-25 bb's (struggling on a short-moderate stack) it can become quite a bother to deal with.

ie. Fake hand 1
UTG minraises, 5 callers, to me with 47s in the bb, i have a 15bb stack

Im gonna make some fake hands, which people may or may not want to reply to.

Fake hand 2

mp1 minraises, 2 callers, folded to me in sb with q9off (12bb's)

Fake hand 3

3 limpers, co minrises, button calls, sb calls, im deal 45s in the bb (with a 14bb stack).

I realize these fake hands suck, and there is not enough info, Im just trying to get across the annoying situations I find myself on a short-moderate stack late in mtt's. What are we doing in these situation. (For simplicity's sake lets assume everyone has me covered) blinds are around 50-100, 75-150 stage. If anyone has better hands for discussion i would appreciate it.

NB: This is my first post in this forum, hence its suckiness
