When you're talking about calling the push, it's purely a pot odds question. Give Villain a range and determine your equity and pot odds. When it's a borderline situation, you might take into consideration the size of your stack (if it will cost only about 10% of yout stack to call, you should be more inclined to coin flip- your chips are worth less than Villain's, since his are his last) and table image (if you've just gotten to the table, you might make a slightly loose call to send the message to others not to mess with your blind).

The real key to winning coin flips is aggression. You want to be the one doing the pushing, hoping to be in a coin flip situation IF you are called. If Villain folds 20% of the time, you've turned a 50/50 situation into a 60/40 situation.

good point.

when you are this low in chips, it is no longer about being given the proper pot odds. It is about fold equity. This is the reason for first in vigourish.

First in vigourish is great when you are in MP3, Cutoff, Button, SB and it's folded to you. It's also great when you are pushing a suited connector in late positon using the first in vigourish and really want to pick up the blinds and antes.

But with an M looming around 10-12, like I mentioned before and early position what good is first in vigourish when six people behind you can pick up a hand that could have your mid pocket pair annihilated?

I feel first in vigourish is obviously great because there is a string of folds to you.

Ugh. Calling all ins with middle pocket pairs from the blinds and pushing mid pocket pairs in early position, with Ms looming around 10-12 literally anger me.
