Ok so I had never played an MTT this high but won a seat so gave it a stab.
This first one I have no table reads on villain but OPR says he is a massive winner.
I understand that this is a clear bet - but what sort of sizing do we like?

Second one opener seemed competent and had been reasonably active in LP - not so much in MP but I felt I was ahead enough to 3b call(granted my sizing is prob a fraction big).
Cold 4b'er had only been at table for like one orbit but OPR suggests he is decent though lol sample size.
What do we get in here and what value hands(if any) do we fold?
