Hand 1 is a workable psyche (I hesitate to say 'good'), but I'm not too impressed by either of the others.
Let's tak about psyches.

1. I psyched 2C on a similar hand recently (on BBO, and not in ACBL land), intending to expose the psych by passing the waiting 2D bid. Of course, the auction went as intended and LHO, sitting there with half the deck, thought I misbid and floated it. Four away when 6M makes by hooking against my partner. In retrospect, I don't think that this psych should have worked nearly that well as LHO could defend as if i opened a weak 2D if he doesn't suspect a psych.
Psyching 1S on hands like xxxx x xx QJ10xxx can work very well by the same token, provided your partnership plays reverse drury. This one is actually legal in ACBL land, where real drury mixups are not all that infrequent.
2. Never.
3. I'd rather bid 3S with this hand. Also depends on the number of drinks

hand 1st/3rd is unfit to psyche.
OPPS have so strong hand(27+HCPs),they can do better when you psyche on the lowest level .
