Im not going to post a response because I'm not a tournament player, but I think that you would get a lot more responses and attention in the Tournament Poker Forum.

The argument for a call is that you are getting about 3:2 (you invest 41% of the pot), and you might not be that far behind. In general, you want to avoid variance in SNGs. Don't overemphasize avoiding variance, but this adds a couple percent to the threshold you need to call.

KJ is a troubling hand. Hands it dominates usually are not played strongly, but people play any dominating hand with confidence. The push was from MP3, not late position, so I would fold here. I don't think you win the ~43% of the time I you need in order to call correctly.

I'd definitely call if the push were from the button or the small blind. I don't know about a push from the CO.

I wouldn't call, though I'm not sure you're behind. People push all in with anything in these tournies.

I can't really argue a call here. Its still early why risk half your stack when your probably behind an Ace. Your stack is fine for now, so I would wait and not base my call strictly ok pot odds.

Fold. If you are a head do you want to call your ~2/3 of your stack off? You are at best 50/50.
