Re: 3 uber boring MTT hands
Hand 1: Sounds like your M is high. His hand could be and underpair (8s, 9s) but could easily be Js as well. If stacks are deep just let it go unless there's some circumstancial tell or betting pattern note, etc.
Hand 2: Once again, sounds like Ms above 20, so stacks have enough depth to them. I fancy a re-raise in the blinds with AK most of the time due to out-of-positioning post-flop. Calling is ok though. On the turn you're getting approximately 3100 to 1400 (~2.2 : 1) with nut flush draw + overs. That's a tough fold for me. Especially when he raised Pre Flop from CO, which widens hand range and dilutes possibility of an overpair somewhat. I say call.
Hand 3: If you commit to the hand, waiting til a flop will offer villain 2 to 1. I say if you're going with it, shove pre flop. If not, fold. I'm a skeptic of the blind-flop shove play with 10s in this spot. I'd much rather offer villain 2 to 1 pre flop where only 4 hands beat me than on a flop where it completely opens up.
