I'd like to know the answer to this question as well.  Playing small PPs late in SNGs is my biggest weakness, and I usually just toss the cards.  77+ is probably good to raise, but I'm not sure how much.

44 might be a fold, depending on the # of players paid and the buy-in (competition level).  I'm not sure if calling is horrible with 25 BBs.  Hopefully someone can tell us if it is and why.

Also, please specify the number paid and type of opponents.

I would prolly make a standard raise in this spot since its only five handed and you still have a large enough stack to fold to a shove. Calling could be an option although i hate open limping.

yeah raise-fold to shove looks best, top 3 pay.

i fold that. with 5 players behind you don't need to force it with a 25BB stack.

Pretty easy fold for me..  You have too many chips to be shoving, and no-one is deep enough to be set-mining.
And as for a raise, you will most likely be OOP if called, and pretty much every flop that doesnt contain a 4 you will have no idea where you are at.

if i'm UTG or in early position I will fold anything below 5,5. If your raise gets called and you don't flop a set you're afraid of every card and if you shove you're only going to be racing or destroyed. Fold is a good option.

I wouldn't think it would be wrong to go with a standard 3x raise with any PP when its 5-handed in a standard SNG.  I don't think I'd open-limp with anything at this point however, its raise or fold.
