when you havent many chips the blinds are too high do you call A2-5 or fold it to find better suit hand?

My suggestion is for you to consult the Push fold charts. You can google Push Fold charts.

Search by Google: Value (M) Dan Harrington. Then you will gain a good understanding of what to do in these situations. You can also look at a practical guide to push, as he suggested.

When u have less than 10 BB u shoulda go all in or fold, NEVER CALL.:)

If im not getting any good hands, i rather go all in with any 2 cards suited from early than A5 or less. Most of the time, ull be domitaded by a bigger kicker A10 Aj etc.

With only m=6, I really have to call.

The story would be different if my m is high enough.

All in or fold. Depends on my position, the way my opponents play, how many are already in and who is behind me.

it depends on the position you are on the table... i would personally shove all in with less than 5 bb if im in co, dealer, sb and everybody at the table fold their hands. also if dealer or sb make a small raise and im in bb i think i might also shove all in.

With low aces like that you have too good of a chance of being dominated. What is going to call you or shove in front of you? I think more often than not you will face a better ace or pocket pairs. almost any pocket pair will have you at a disadvantage. do you want A5 against pocket 7s? or AQ vs A5? to me, calling this with more than 5 blinds is like burning money. I would find a better spot. I have no problem shoving that, but I would not want to get called.

A2-A5.
Sometimes in turbo MTT at late stage many players have less then you 6 bb
you can be 25 out of 60 players remaining. with 6 bb and it is kind of ICM descision - i prefer to wait a little bit if i am UTG or MP. because many player with shorter stacks will push wide (call wide as well) so - sometimes it is good to fold and wait for a payjump.
Of course push fold charts will the you what is right or wrong by math formulas. but this is my IMHO

If in early position - fold, but late position you should probably shove.
