I think my biggest leak is calling all in's. I seem to lose 5 out of six times that i call all in.
Absent reads, is there any reliable predictor of whether my opponent has the goods? I'm playing 10NL, full ring.

Sounds like when they push they have the goods. Right?

Well, Yeah. I suppose I'd be money ahead to just quit calling all ins.

The real point is your question is way to vague.
You're asking how to call an all-in with no reads. Is this pre, on the flop, on the river? How did we get to the point that villain pushes? Did a draw hit, overcard, blank?
In general at microstakes accept the bet at face value (i.e. it is what it represents). The villains who bluff all-in a lot are maniacal and should be easy to spot. In general you should be putting the chips in, not calling.
Post hands, you'll get better advice that way.

Actually, it was a general answer I was looking for. And that's a good one. Thank you.

A general answer would be, stop calling. It takes a lot more to call a shove than to shove AI yourself, which is basically what Swiggidy posted. If you don't have any reads whatsoever, what are you basing your decision to call with? If it's just wishful thinking then you better get used to losing.
