I recovered to finish 3rd...here i've got 13 bigs. This feels like too many bigs to shove this considering the big jumps in pay for 1st/2nd/3rd. I want 99+ here, i think i prefer a min R repping a big pair and fold to a shove? I'm sure you guys will say instashove but i don't play a massive amount of tournaments and i have a micro bankroll so i can't ride out any variance easily. In this spot i know i'm flipping more often than and would prefer to get it in with a bit more equity particularly after recovering from the Q10s hand.

cbet flop?

Don't limp reraise.

Hand 1 : dont limp/raise... Cbet flop

Hand 2 : Pretty standard given our stacks

Every time i complete my SB he raises, everytime i raise he re-raises, any thoughts?

As this is the case I don't mind the idea of limping from the SB but this would be so having a reasonable/good hand you could often call and play hit or fold using the implied odds to allow a spazz against a bad aggro player - you are playing OOP so it is uncomfortable. Doing a semi-bluff reraise here is also fine but has a lot more risk so would need a decent read and I think I would prefer to min raise and go allin over the expected BB raise if a good aggro player
When you do hit the flop so well so as aggressor you should bet out for the bluff - it has now also become for value (you are about even against KJ) but your hand is vunerable and the turn can reduce your equity so also for protection bet.

The second hand is a standard shove.
