Automatic call

[ACE2M]

No hand analysis here i'm afraid.

What hand do you need to make and automatic call of an all in when heads up? Any situation, when dominating, when shortstack etc Just, what range is always automatic?

I've been playing 88 or above and A10 or better.

An automatic all-in in any situation when heads up. I'd say anything from KK to AA, but if you're one of those crazy loose players maybe QQ.

Any other hand you'd want to take additional factors into consideration.

This answer is a bit lame but "any situation" is a lot of situations. Imagine playing someone who folds the first 40 hands he gets and then moves all-in pre-flop when you hold JJ. What would you do? I'd lay that puppy down and keep taking his blinds. It's a pretty extreme example but not impossible. If I looked down to find A10 off in this scenario I wouldn't be able to fold them quick enough.

You might need to narrow the question down a bit to get a good technical answer.

Depends on too many factors.  I was chip leader in a sitngo on Saturday my opponent had about 10 bbs I had about 12.  I raised 3 from the button with  and he moved in.  I called without a lot of thought as his hand range was so wide I couldn't pass.  Probably wouldn't have called if he had moved in from the button, but I might if he had been very aggressive.

I think it very much depends on your opponents rep, but if you know nothing about him and he moved all-in after a few hands, I'd call with A-K, A-A, K-K, Q-Q and possibly J-J

If you know him to be a weak and very beatable player, then I'd prefer to wait for a better opportunity and grind him down gradually.
