I'm going to assume you're talking about being short stacked or later in the tourney when the average M is very low.
Because by and large if you are deepstacked you should try to never be all in until you have the nuts or a really really profitable spot.
So....assuming you're in a low M situation you can shove with either pocket pairs or high cards if your position is favorable. tiny pocket pairs go WAAAAY down in value in early to mid pos so I would muck 22-66 most of the time unless micro stacked.
In general I prefer shoving with the pair, and calling somebody else's shove with the high cards because calling with say 88 you're hoping for a flip, you might be crushed. calling with KQ most of the time you're flipping occasionally you're dominated.
