If you are in a $33 SNG and have 3-1 chip lead how low are you standards for calling an all in pre flop? I know it depends say vs a tight player then vs maniac all in every other hand. Mine are typically any pair, Ace 9+,KQ or KJ vs the maniac I will call with any ace any two cards over ten as well.

Really depends on the blinds. The higher the blinds, the less you need.

It all depends on the blinds. The higher the blinds, the looser the standard.

blinds 300-600 or just before that.

So if you're up 3:1, that means that villain raises to t2000 and it is 1400 to call. The pot contains 2600, you're getting 1.86:1 on your money.

I'm calling with all but the worst 30% (rough number) of hands. Very loose calling range here.

When the blinds get that high you can do worse than to push every hand.

Fold the complete trash, and you have a plan.

Its very player dependent. I've called with J7s and folded KTo in this spot before.

If you have Eastbay's SNGPTs then you can figure it out verses various push ranges.
