I don't have any hard and fast rules. So much depends on the how the other players are acting, how close you are to the bubble, how short you are. I've seen Ace-trash conquer QQ at lot! I've seen one card to a straight win a lot! I've seen innumerable folks play any two suited cards usually winning with one or two pair, or basically anything other than the flush they were after.
If I'm at a really cautious table I will shove with less that 10 BBs with KT from EP knowing full well that it's a very risky move. Any Ace is going to call (and with most of the players left to play there's a much greater likelihood they'll have a good AX), any pair is going to call, and any KQ is going to call. Basically if anybody calls I'm almost always dominated and I will only take the hand down if I get lucky.
However in the SB with only the BB to go, I will almost always shove with KT. I say "almost" because if we're right on the bubble and somebody else is way shorter I probably won't.
