Default $30 speed hand: what\'s my move?

This was a $30 speed Monster qualifier (yeah yeah, bring the hate; 95% goes to the prize pool and the competition is sooooft), about 20 left of 60, top 6 gets paid. For me, anything below top 3 isn't too important.

I hadn't made any big moves, pushed a few times and called a push with AA. Limper limps way too much, but pretty much always folds when facing a raise. CO is the aggressive big stack, doubling on a suckout then stealing blinds here and there to gain his current size. Nothing really out of line though, all of his pushes are from LP.

What's my move?

Party Poker
No Limit Holdem Tournament
Blinds: t1000/t2000-75
10 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: t7372
UTG+1: t3531
UTG+2: t23396
MP1: t24894
MP2: t9470
MP3: t14689
CO: t44034
Hero: t15323
SB: t25441
BB: t11850

Pre-flop: (10 players) Hero is Button with Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
UTG+2 folds, MP1 calls t2000 <font color="#aaaaaa">(pot was t150)</font>, 2 folds, <font color="#cc0000">CO raises to t6000</font>

I wonder what option you think you have other than pushing?

you have to shove or fold. If you call you are putting in more than 1/3 of your stack. CO is probably going to shove almost any flop.

This is a push for me, given the range of the CO. In a Speed tourney, you only get to see so many hands, this might be the best hand you see until you are blinded out

Hum yeah, for some reason I actually found CO's 3xBB raise instead of standard shove a bit freaky. That being said, I pondered for about 2 seconds before shoving. UTG+1 folded, CO thought for 5 secs then called with ATo. My hand held up, whee.

Edit: the only choice was obviously between pushing and folding. Thanks for the confirmation.
