I'm posting two hands in one post because they are related. ~65-75 players left
1)

Poker Stars, $2.50 Buy-in (7,000/14,000 blinds, 1,750 ante) No Limit Hold'em Tournament, 8 Players
Poker Tools Powered By Holdem Manager - The Ultimate Poker Software Suite.

SB: 173,756 (12.4 bb)
Hero (BB): 148,666 (10.6 bb)
UTG+2: 20,499 (1.5 bb)
MP1: 226,348 (16.2 bb)
MP2: 771,230 (55.1 bb)
MP3: 182,599 (13 bb)
CO: 40,366 (2.9 bb)
BTN: 479,292 (34.2 bb)

Preflop: Hero is BB with A

5 folds, BTN raises to 42,000, 2 folds

Spoiler:

AFAIR V was not very active at this table. This opening sizing says that he's never folding here obv and I was thinking that I'm way behind vs his range.

2) Two hands later, same opponent:

Poker Stars, $2.50 Buy-in (7,000/14,000 blinds, 1,750 ante) No Limit Hold'em Tournament, 8 Players
Poker Tools Powered By Holdem Manager - The Ultimate Poker Software Suite.

SB: 2,999 (0.2 bb)
BB: 222,848 (15.9 bb)
UTG+2: 767,730 (54.8 bb)
MP1: 179,099 (12.8 bb)
MP2: 36,866 (2.6 bb)
MP3: 510,792 (36.5 bb)
CO: 198,256 (14.2 bb)
Hero (BTN): 124,166 (8.9 bb)

Preflop: Hero is BTN with 4

3 folds, MP3 raises to 28,000, CO folds, Hero raises to 122,416 and is all-in, BB folds, MP3 calls 94,416

Flop: (274,081) 3

(3 players, 2 are all-in)
Turn: (274,081) K

(3 players, 2 are all-in)
River: (274,081) 9

(3 players, 2 are all-in)

Spoiler:

because of his sizing 2 hands earlier I thought that his range might be now weaker so decided to push. SB is all in but I don't think that KO factor really matters in this phase.

How would you guys play that 2 hands?

Folding both hands especially the 2nd one you have a really weak unsuited A against a big stack opening, you hardly have any fold equity so he will call you down with a lot of hands, and yes you may have the best hand but my god just about any hand he's opening with is going to have a really decent shot and running you down unless he has a weaker A, and if that's the case then a lot of the time you'll end up chopping the pot with the villian.

Fold both. As blitz already said, second one is really bad.
