I really need help with this

Lets say its Final table of 45man SNG, 9BBS, and there's antes..

1) Can we shove any ace? (If we are opening the action)

2) What if we have 8 BBS and the chip leader shoves AI, and we have A3os from the Button, with the SB and BB left to act behind us?

3) Same as #2 but 5BBs

I have a lot of trouble with weak aces at final tables and 10BBS or less. My trouble is almost ALWAYS when im in this situation from early position. Any advice to sum it up? Anyone else find this to be a rough spot?

You should probably buy SNG Power Tools or SNG Wiz and figure it out for yourself rather than ask questions where the answer is obviously "it depends." In general though, shoving an offsuit ace-rag from early position for close to 10 BB is not a winning play.

Sprayed is on a distinguished road
 Get wiz. You can change the format so that it can either calculate chip or ICM. ICM is more for single tables. The chip calc will be good for more than one table. Either way, the software will help you get an idea of what and when to shove/call.
