i call here

he's 3betting 12%, he has 20BB's and shoved the small blind VS a LP open, we can expect him to be turning up with a lot of lower aces, KQ, KJ and loads of other random stuff

plus AA, KK or AK will be r/cing some of the time here

no you dont need to call in this spot.

You don't need to call, it's read dependant and how you feel playing against this final table. His all-in raise seems quite strong in this spot since there are not limpers.
I would note that down, and use this knowledge later on.

You need 44.09% to make the call here… and that's to break even in terms of chip equity! Villain would have to be shoving 88+,ATs+,KTs+,QJs,AJo to make this profitable. You're raising from fairly early position, which looks strong, and yet the SB decides to shove in 23BBs. It's unlikely that this is AJ so you're flipping at best, or well behind QQ+ and AK. I fold. If I raise from CO or BTN and SB jams then I'm calling all day! As it's a final table too I'm looking for AK,TT+ to get in here, I think.

close but i'd fold

sigh icm fold
