    Poker is easy, it's winning at poker that's hard.

    1) standard call
    2) he is giving you correct odds to catch your 10 outs, but your are an underdog and there is no reason to take big risks in MTTs. I would fold here.
    3) No need to risk your tournamnet life on a coinflip at bebst, fold.
    4) Call/Shove

    H1: Given history of SB I would have a hard time folding. Either your crushing villain or villain knows they have a loose image and shoved to get called light IMO.

    H2: This is kind of gross spot if villain has air. If he was more aggressive I'd peel a turn but you dont want to catch and not get action.

    H3: I think this is standard and I fold.

    H4: If she is a decent player she knows she cant raise and fold to a re-raise. You only have to be a 44% favourite to make this call. Even if villain is only pushing top 5% your still +EV. Although, said range is probably WAY to tight.
