Default $5+0.50 Shortstacked early with AT, maniac reraises before me

Villain in this hand raises every hand preflop. I see AT as a chance to rescue my short stack. Am I crazy for taking on "call with any two" villain here?

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t30 (6 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

UTG (t4100)
UTG+1 (t3350)
CO (t1460)
Button (t1460)
Hero (t885)
BB (t2245)

Preflop: Hero is in SB with T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
<font color="gray">UTG folds</font>, <font color="gray">UTG+1 folds</font>, <font color="red">CO raises to t60</font>, <font color="gray">Button folds</font>, <font color="red">Hero raises to t885 (All-in)</font>

He might raise a lot pf, but does he really call a huge re-raise with a lot of trash? I'd wait for a better spot, you aren't really that short stacked.

Does he need to call with a lot of trash for this to be profitable for me? His minraise makes the pot 1/6 of my stack - isn't it worth stealing knowing that I am way ahead of his range?

I'm pretty new to SNGs myself, and I actually don't know how to calculate his raising range to see if shoving is unexploitable here. Could someone else help out?

Looks really bad to me since your almost 30bb's and no point risking your whole stack for 90 chips when he actually calls down light, and i dont think your hand plays very good against what he calls with there.

Less than 1/8th, actually. SB + BB + his raise = t105, right?
