44+, K8s+, Any broadway. A5o+, any suited ace. Q9s+. Assuming he does funky min raise with AA-TT or AKs to induce.

Proivded there's no significant ICM consideration - I'm guessing we're at the FT here based on the blinds, rather than playing 2x 6-max tables with 12 left? - I would call with 22+ Ax, KTs+, QJs+ and maybe KQo/KJo too. If we're really certain that he's shoving close to 100%, we can probably add in any broadway hand too at least.

Not an expert on ICM, so not entirely sure how we can factor in the shorty based on the payouts in a 45man, but as pretty much every player is shortstacked, I would imagine we should still be calling this off fairly often.
