This is my first time playing villain and its the 7th hand of the SnG. So far I minraised all my buttons and he always called me, but has not yet 3-Bet preflop.

At the time I ended up calling with the A6o, but I think this might be a significant mistake. It all comes down to the 3-bet shove range of villain. I think it could be something like A2-A8 and TT-22. Against this range A6o has roughly 44% equity which makes the EV of a call ~19 BB which is slightly worse than the EV of folding (19.5 BB). Now the problem is if villain shoves wider, especially if he shoves more Ax type hands. If he includes Ax hands up to AT the EV of the call is suddenly only 18 BB (1.5 BB worse than a fold). For the call to become plus EV he would have to include a significant portion of Kx, Qx, or bluffs in his 3-bet shove all-in range.
How would you have played the hand? Is this call as bad as I think it is?
