late in a 3r - comments please

Hi all. I would appreciate comments, feedback, advice on this tourney. I have not been doing well lately, and this is about the closest I have got to the finish line in a while. I start out as the big stack. These are some of the hands I wasn't sure about.

Here, I figured I was probably dominated, so I folded getting about 2.5 to 1. However, it occured to me that since there was a possibility that I wasn't, the odds were good enough to call. So was it a good fold, dumb fold or toss-up?

Villain has been 3-betting light from blinds. Was moving in correct or should I see the flop?

Raiser struck me as being tight, so I folded, but wondered later if I should of at least called.

Not sure if I should move in or put in standard raise. Have a little over 6M. No-one else is making allin moves, so I start to wonder if I should be doing it.

In cutoff. PF pot around 36K. Should I move in or put in standard raise. If I raise to 48K, I would be left with about 11BB, or 5M if I fold to a rrse.
