1500FPP 6-max Sat to the WCOOP opener. I'm about 28/40, 11 seats.

Villain is a pretty average 6-handed player, he's in quite a lot of pots. Seems a tad weak.

A raise is out of the question as it'll pot commit me and put me in a tough spot on the turn. Best play here is to shove?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t150 (6 handed)
UTG (t5739)
MP (t5966)
Hero (t3184)
Button (t5955)
SB (t11618)
BB (t3493)

Preflop: Hero is CO with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. UTG posts a blind of t150.

Yep. Just barely but yes. Have to shove here.

I suppose you could call and see what the flop brings. If you're going to raise, then yes, you might as well shove.

Just barely yes, indeed.

675 in pot, nice to take down right here. Calling is OK, but you'll receive another caller and FE on flops is going to be down. I guess it depends - if you think players to your left are tight and fold to aggression, then calling might not be bad; you have position + nice FE against your average player. If an A comes up, you can milk some more chips. I think push is better, but call ain't bad.
