Man, I need to track down whoever told me K8 is the cutoff hand for calling all-in against any 2.

It depends on what you're trying to maximize . If you wish to maximize your $/hour or $/hand , then you can do slightly better by calling with hands a little worse than k-8 . Note that it's incorrect to try to maximize your win % .
Anything with a 54%+ equity should do the trick .
If you expect to win 66% of the time and on average it should take you 10 hands to accomplish this (which is being generous) , then your $/hand = 0.27*(buyin-rake)/10hands .
So if buy-in -rake =100 , then you expect to profit $2.7 /hand .
Calling with something like k-6 (54.1%) assures you that your $/h playing with a $105 buy in is $3.2/hand .
As you can see , Ive shown that you can do better than calling with k-8 if you make a reasonable stipulation as I made above .
