I am not even sure what is wrong here. I have a table I would like the caption to be at bottom, marked with (continued) from 2nd page onwards. I would like the table to break at certain places by using \\ instead of \\*. Finally, the booktab command \toprule and \bottomrule should be used at top and bottom at each page.
What surprises me is even with \pagebreak or \newpage the table still refuse to break across pages.
The example table, with desired breakpoints marked with red arrows.
