Ok so I'm up against a donk who is playing loose passive, like most of them.
Poker Stars $0.10 No Limit Hold'em Tournament – t100/t200 Blinds – 9 players
Hand Conversion courtesy of Tournament Poker Edge
themitch1979 (UTG): BB = 23.9, t4787
UTG+1: BB = 21.3, t4260
UTG+2: BB = 16.3, t3265
MP1: BB = 21.8, t4365
MP2: BB = 17.9, t3586
CO: BB = 14.3, t2870
BTN: BB = 52.9, t10572
SB: BB = 35.8, t7160
BB: BB = 10.4, t2080
Pre Flop: (t300) themitch1979 is UTG with Q
K
themitch1979 raises to t490, UTG+1 calls t490, 5 folds, SB calls t390, 1 fold
Flop: (t1670) 5 4
8 (3 players)
SB checks, themitch1979 checks, UTG+1 bets t200, SB folds, themitch1979 calls t200
Turn: (t2070) J (2 players)
themitch1979 checks, UTG+1 bets t1000, themitch1979 raises to t4097 all in, UTG+1 calls t2570 all in
River: (t9210) 7
(2 players – 2 are all in)
Final Pot: t9210
themitch1979 shows Qc Kc (high card King)
UTG+1 shows 7d Qd (a pair of Sevens)
UTG+1 wins t9210
UTG+1 Is a loose passive with VPIP/PFR around 42/3.
I shoved the turn cause his turn bet didn't make sense to me, donks don't know about value betting, he would've raised more o gone all in. I think he's on a draw and shove, he tanks and immediately I knew he didn't have the J, but waiting to see if he had the balls to call with A high. He calls and I giggle. 
Now that I'm thinking about it, I think this would be the better play.
– check/raise his flop bet
– bet the turn (he still might call)
– check/fold to a bet or shove
I would just check/fold flop even vs that minbet. You have around 10% equity to hit one of your outs on turn and you might be way behind on that flop already. As played I would just check/call turn and would try to hit my outs. He is not folding any draw here/any pair probably (you don't represent anything with your line). You don't have more than 25% equity and some of your outs might not be good so it is just better to fold.
I would c bet the flop and turn and be ready to give it up. No use in chasing after you gave him the upper hand.

Bad flop to c-bet. Multiway pot and it's a flop that hits tons of calling ranges. Easy check/fold in my opinion.
But we have a flush draw, do we call the min bet on the flop and on turn? I'm sure he was gonna raise on the river, so we obviously fold.

Woops – misread and thought we were heads up. Agree to check and fold..

I initially raised, he min bets the flop, the other guy insta-folds, since we were heads up with a flush draw and over cards should we maintain the lead by raising his min bet and folding to a re-raise or shove? I'm insisting because I've seen it happen to me so many times, I raise, some loose guy flats, either leads the pot with a min bet or if I'm OOP I check and he min bets, then what?
Well I guess in these stakes it better to take it easy and maybe just call his min bet, and check check the turn and fold the river.
When someone bets 200 to a pot that huge, its because they are just stupid….I dont give action to stupid ppl, so I just fold on the flop….
If u are not like me lolz….raise the flop big, but you know that guy will never fold so….why bother…
I dont play 0.10c tourneys but if i do, i wont even raise KQs UTG for sure or AJ or small pairs, the looser you play the harder is to play Pos-flop, and in those cheap tourneys, U will just end u tilting and losing all your stack in one move…not good.
Lets face it, 0.10 they are all loose, you have to tight up, really theres no other strategy there

We don't have a flush draw on the flop. We have two overs and a backdoor flushdraw on a flop that's likely to hit a lot of calling ranges.
His min bet is usually a draw so raising the flop will either induce an all-in or he's going to flat it and you'll head to the turn playing out of position in what has now become a pretty big pot.
I mean there's just so many other spots to play good poker in position against bad players that I have a hard time supporting anyone trying to make a move here.
You jam the turn really having little fold equity here without knowing what he has.
