Default On the subject of ICM: What do you call a push with?

I expect to get different answers here, but hopefully there will be some good discussion. Around the bubble, what do you call a push with? Do you gamble sometimes when you put his push with any two cards and call the push when you hold live cards?

Or do you auto-pilot and only call a push with top hands as to not take a risk if he is pushing with any two?

Here's how I have been playing lately in general. If it's heads up and Ive been pushed into fairly consistently by the same player and I have any pair, two high cards, suited high connector, or an Ax I'll call if I have the lead of 3-1 in chip count. I feel like I risk alot here, but again I play like this if he has been consistently pushing into me therefore making me feel like he will be pushing any two cards into me.

What if Im 1-3 in chip count from a big stack's push? I usually tighten up and only play the pairs, a high Ax, and KQ,KJ. On the flip side, if Im around 5x the BB I will push any two into a blind that has me 3x covered.
