just hit final table a few hands ago no real reads on anyone, is this a mistake to call this hand here?

Call, unless you're on a bubble.

You're probably ahead and your M is too low to not take the chance.

With 7 ppl left I don't think the payjumps are all that big yet?

That combined with the fact that you are one of the short stacks means that I would call here cuz you are definately ahead of his range.

Somebody with a greater understanding of ICM might say differently though.

Without any kind of reads, I would err to the safe side, and wait for a better +ev spot. At best you are a slight fave, unless he's playing any 2 rags, in which case you are about 60/40 but likely in a coinflip for all your chips. You still have almost 8 BBs, and decent fold equity vs anyone at the table. SNG Wiz would suggest a definite fold with a very tight calling range. Prolly no more than 5 or 6 %. Just a random opinion

snap . if hes somewhat decent he will be shoving super-wide .

So A8 is an super easy call readless.

Vs Regs/decent players i call like Ax+ , JK+,JQs+, 55+,
