Stop flatting with small and medium pocket pairs to set mine when you're not getting the correct odds.
I see this all the time.
Both you and your opponent need at least 30 BB's in order for you to set mine in a tournament. This means that after the early stages, you're rarely in a spot where flatting is correct since most of our tournament lives are spent in the 10 BB to 20 BB range.
The fact that someone flatted ahead of you doesn't mean it's okay for you to flat, either. If you think back to previous tournaments you can probably remember how you always seemed to fold to a pre-flop shove or fold to a large c-bet after trying to catch a set with your 66, 77, 88, etc.
You can't do the same incorrect thing every time and expect different results.
30+ big blinds, no exceptions. Anything less late in a tournament is a shove/fold decision based on your reads.
