In some situations, intuition is all you have - especially in MTTs if you're fairly short stacked (average chips or less) and the blinds are getting expensive. You can't afford to wait very long for a premium hand. Recognise that playing any hand at this stage severely damages your chances if you lose. So shove or fold - this isn't the time to play from the flop! Raise all in preflop with any hand if there is a raise and two or more callers in front of you. Your best chance of recovery is an inspired moment of recklessness. Remember the money you're after is at the final table end of the tournament, not here. Unless you're content to merely scrape past the bubble, and perhaps double your buy in after five or six hours play.
