Lately I have seen a trend in tournaments of people overplaying their hands.  A few examples:
Player goes all-in, overcall all-in by 10/10 (that is o.k. in my book to isolate a probable ace high race), but then J/J overcalls!!!  WTF is he doing?  He is looking at a race against every overcard and/or overpair.  P.S., he won.
Player all-in, I call raise with 8/8, then it is re-raised all-in with AK (a drawing hand).  I call with good pot odds and lose when he spikes an ace.  Who was overplaying?  I think the AK was, and if the pot was not as large I would not have overplayed my medium pockets.
I raise to 1100 on the button with 10/10 and several limpers with 100/200 blinds.  The small blind reraises enough to put me all in which I call to see A/A (I felt pot committed with 1/2 my chips in the pot (1200 more for a 3400 pot).  I do believe that I overplayed my hand as the player had not shown himself to be a donk.  What could I beat that he could reraise with?  Certainly a huge dog to his pairs range and a coin flip to AK which are the only hands I can imagine a raise.
