    why are you min raising? make a real raise to $1. as played i just shove after he min 3 bets you on flop. try not to get into a minraising battle.

    Don't min-bet preflop, once he 3-bets you on the flop just push it in.

    No minraising!!! Big hands, big pots

    At some point grow a pair and shove, IE the 3rd bet

    minbet preflop was a misclick.

    when he 3 bet me on the flop, i was thinking pushing over would get me called by better hands most of the time. think about his possible hands here. hes probably not reraisng me with a drawing hand. AK and AQ are possibilities but unlikely because he didn't reraise preflop. so with his min 3bet could he be trying to get value out of me with what to him must have seemed like a strong hand? likely hands were prob 88, 77, 87, A8, A7. i only beat one of those. i don't like a call here. and like i said a worse hand typically doesn't call a push in this spot but might call a small 4 bet, hands like AJ, A10. value. but at this point i would have been happy to see him fold. when he 5bets me, minsized, wtf. i'm thinking now that its likely i'm beat. but call or push are the only reasonable options.
    do the right thing.
