$12/180 STT - odds to call/push with any 2

[NickNick]

What kind of odds do you need to push with any 2 ...thinking mainly of later stages in MTT.

How about to call?
How about to call a bet + caller?


This is one example of why I'm asking. Seem to get in this situation a lot though!

I folded because I didn't think I would be good against a raiser and a caller, turns out I would have flopped a nice hand, but was it the correct decision?

I think there was approx 25/180 left, top 18 paid.

I then went on to get lucky a few times and numbers dropped pretty quickly - though obviously needed to with less than a BB left.
