Here's the situation:
I'm big stack by far at my table. It's a $50 SNG. I'm in the BB and I have two small stack all ins in front of me. The first push I see as desperation because the blinds are rising. I put him on A2-AK. The second all in call I put on a legitimate hand, most likely any pocket pair. Do I call here with the knowledge that I'm not in any real trouble if I lose and if I win I take out two stacks? Also, my thinking is that my hand will be "live." I folded in the end but I'm not positive it was the right thinking. Obviously I don't want to be reults-oriented. But if I lose, I've only burned off 575 chips. Do my pot odds make this close?
