I think a lot of the decision process is based on the extent you think you can outplay your opponents given the tourney scenarios.

Unless i had a read on the all-in as a donk, I would be tempted to fold hand 1. You've got plenty of chips to play with relative to the blinds.

For Hand 2, I might be willing to call. Your M is about 10, and you're probably going to need to win a coinflip at some point to get deep in the tourney. Again, if you think you have enough chips to outplay your opponents later, then I might lean more towards folding.

In hand 2, if they guy is any good, he was a fool to go all-in with AA or KK. As such, I might think he has a weaker hand like JJ or AK.
