i said "yes if it would be heads-up with the original raiser", but i wanted to qualify that a little.
you're the huge stack in an SNG, and the raise has come from a tiny stack (everyone else folds) that's obviously getting nervous. rather than pushing all-in preflop which they should, they tentatively raise it. so you call from the BB with your 72o. if you catch any part of the flop, you push them all-in. if you miss the flop, push them all-in anyway - they've shown weakness, and are playing scared. and since you're in the BB, you're first to bet, so they don't know what you have.
worst case - you lose 400-500 chips that really don't have an effect on your huge stack (in a 10 person SNG start with 800 chips each - i'm talking 4500 chips plus). best case, you eliminate an opponent without having to risk much. you also send a confusing message "hmm, he's the big stack, but playing crap..."
