It's amazing how desperate people are for them to shove all-in with rags just to steal blinds and raises. When I have hands like K2, K7, back then, I would fold because I was a tight-player. Now after watching Lex, I loosened up my pre-flop calling ranges against short-stackers' all-ins who have very high VPIP and high stealing %. I say to myself "my king high is good" and most of the time, they are. When people write all sorts of noises in the chatbox, my usual text is "you shoved all-in with _____......."
I've made some gutsy calls with hands like Q5, opponent rolls over 9T and then all sorts of noise are made.

Don't get me wrong. I've made mistakes and called when they have pairs or better hands. But I wasn't that behind because my hands were still live and most of the time, I'm only behind 30/70. But in long run, it evened out and actually profited. There are times when I called while being ahead and lost to suckout, while called being behind and won. But I like it because it gives people a huge image not to mess with your blind and people will think twice before stealing and playing against you.
