Default Ace-rag short-handed, to call or not to call?

Hi All,

An interesting situation I've run into three or four times in recent SNGs:

Final table, last five or fewer, and I'm the chip leader. Obviously, by this time, the blinds are big and some of my opponents are getting desperate. I'm on the button, or in one of the blinds, with Ace-rag, and a shortish stack moves in ahead of me. To call or not to call?

I've taken to calling in most of these situations, and it's been surprisingly successful. More often than not, he has moved in on Kx, Qx, Jxs, or some such -- once it was T3o, a naked steal -- and I'm ahead if not dominating.

What experience have y'all had with this situation?

Cris
