Default One More Orbit...?

Okay, I am coming across a common situation late in tournaments, I may be inside or just outside the money, I have ten big blinds left so I am shortstacked. I have eg KTo in early position and I am thinking of going allin. However, lacking an Ace or a pair I am loathe to do so. Now with the blinds to still pass through me is it positive expected value to see if I can pick up an Ace or pair during the next orbit? Should I wait or should I push? (An orbit is nine hands on FullTiltPoker.)

Thanks for any and all responses.

i would rather shove KT than "an ace"

As far as whether I shove or not it really depends on what site I am playing on. UB and FT with their huge antes and tight players I would get in real quick, however on stars it would depend on how many left to act, their stacks, and tendencies. It would really just depend.
