    so after using my new fast expansion strat as terran im starting to drown in resources

    what should I be doing once I hit max supply? Ive attached a replay where this happens, although I chose not to max myself out as quickly as I could have to leave some space for different units incase I need them

    but I also tend to hit 200 supply much quicker than my opponent even with 2 expansions. once I hit a third then im drowning in minerals and gas and I dont know where to throw them

    I try to get 2 engi bays and an armory to get upgrades but even after all of that im in the thousands as far as resources go

    what else should I be doing with my resources? what I really dont understand when watching good players play is how they keep their resources so low, even at max supply they are still spending them somewhere

    Before I check it out, ill give u this:

    -Get massive amounts of army-pumping buildings.
    -Macro the crap out of your opponent.

    [Edit]
    After:
    Wow.
    Okay, so queuing up 4 marauders in one rax with supply block is something you DONT do :D
    1) Constantly make SCVs. (3 scvs per mineral node and 3 scvs per gas is apparently the most efficient)
    2) Get moar supply depots.
    3) Tech up faster if you think u'll need other units.
    4) U remember that expansion u pwnd? Keep some army there?
    5) 3 bunkers, 2 rines??
    6) 2 factory tech labs....dont do that if ur not gonne be using one
    7) Get more rax and factories. If you're not gonna get a tech lab, go get a reactor!
    8) APM. It needs improvement (so you can macro better).
    9) A lot of the time, your production facilities werent even production-ing (loool) when you had like 600-800 min.
    10) Something something, sometihng!

    i think ur problem is not ur supplies but ur willingness to attack :D
    you could have ended the game with your first wave of marines
    also note the fact that your enemy was pumping out banshees:
    1)banshees take 200 min 200gas; not very cheap
    2)your enemy had no expos; your enemy is probably only getting banshees
    3)you killed 8 banshees; thats 1600 min 1600 gas from 1 base. that should have been enough to make you counter
