First you should see if the hand is interesting to apply or pay an all-in . If the tournament is turbo or hyper -turbo worth paying or go all-in.

Stack sizes would be useful.

Makes no sense if raise 3 BBs with AKs, someone shoves for 11 BBs and you fold.

For a preflop, I would only all-in monster cards. I would all-in A,A K,K and Q,Q. A,K I might all-in too. You should not be afraid of going all-in if you have these cards because most of the time you'll be ahead and win the pot. Good luck.

So if you only have 4 BBs and are dealt 1010, you're folding?

People make thundering mistakes preflop, when you forget about stack sizes.

There are spots when you need to call with any two, and spots when you need to only call with premiums.

stack size and position have to be factored in. Hard to call if bigger stacks are behind if you don't have AA or KK. However, if in position, the range can widen significantly.

The most important thing to remember about poker is that is not only about the cards you are dealt. Often, they are the last thing that you should be considering.

If I am down to 3BB then I will call with any of the hands that I like to play like A 10,J,Q,K, or A 2,3,4,5, AA, KK, QQ, JJ,10 10, 9 10, K10, or my personal favorite the 3 5, hopefully suited.

if you're down to 3 BBs, your call range should be much wider than that.

Okay that's just a general rule if someone shoves against you. This is what you should do in lower stack situations. Follow this website except the yellow ones : https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...U3Oscg4-B2_0xog/htmlview?hl=en_US&pli=1#gid=3 Hope this helps.
It's not a general rule, it's completely standard. If you have 4BBs and are dealt 1010, you're almost always (ignoring certain satellite situations) getting your money in the middle, whether you shove first or call a shove.

It even says on the push-chart your provided, in the 4 BB section, for every page.

Why did you say to not follow the yellow ones?

First of all I see stats of my opponent and according to his vpip, pfr, 3bet understand what type of player he is.
If I have more than one raiser before me and I haven't got any information about these raisers I continue my game only with KK or AA.
But if there is one raiser I call all-in with QQ and AK.

AA, KK, QQ, AK, AQ, when you have less than 10 bbs you can pay Ax Kx Qx or any pair in a button and if no one bet before, when you have less than 3 bbs you can pay with any conection carts
