Calling ranges at sng's ??? Calling ranges at sng's ???

Hi all,I have some problems about calling raises at middle stage of a turbo sng's.

I call middle stage as:
80-160,100-200,120-240 blinds and 5 to 7 players on table.

I think I'm making serious mistakes at these phase of sng's.

How calling ranges differ when shortstacked/deepstacked ?

What things to consider when facing preflop raises?

Actually,I wonder if there is a mathematical explanation?

Here is a hand that I was not sure to call or not to call.
And what is your calling range here?

Pot-Limit Omaha Tournament, 150/300 Blinds (5 handed) - Hold'em Manager Hand Converter from HandHistoryConverter.com

MP (t3775)
Button (t2452)
SB (t1990)
Hero (BB) (t2073)
UTG (t3210)

Hero's M: 4.61

Preflop: Hero is BB with 4, K, A, 8
2 folds, Button bets t1050, 1 fold, Hero raises t1773 (All-In), Button calls t1023

Flop: (t4296) 4, 3, J (2 players, 1 all-in)

Turn: (t4296) Q (2 players, 1 all-in)

River: (t4296) 9 (2 players, 1 all-in)

Total pot: t4296

Results:
Button had K, K, A, 5 (one pair, Kings).
Hero had 4, K, A, 8 (one pair, fours).
Outcome: Button won t4296

when the blinds get high try to find a spot to shove your chips when u have fold equity....you do this because it gives you 2 ways to win the hand(they fold or you make the best hand when your all in preflop is called)

in the hand u posted i think i might have gone with it also with the blinds being as high and the next hand youre in the small blind which will hurt your stack even more...im not really sure though too be honest

You need a better hand to reraise with than you do to open with. That being said this play is completely standard and if you had folded you would have probably made mistake. I haven't played sngs in a while though so take my advice with a grain of salt. You should probably get an icm calculator and plug in reasonable opening ranges and then you should get a much better answer.
