Default Do I Push w/AQ from Button in PS $5r?

I've been playing extremely tight after the re-buy period. Mostly because of crappy hands and an active table. I'm obviously not thinking about calling but is this a good place to go all-in or should I wait to possibly get some FE.

This is probably pretty standard but I would appreciate any suggestions.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t400 (9 handed) internettexasholdem.com

UTG+1 (t1096)
MP1 (t41350)
MP2 (t15265)
MP3 (t26750)
CO (t24170)
Hero (t3675)
SB (t14535)
BB (t2909)
UTG (t7480)

Preflop: Hero is Button with Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
<font color="#CC3333">UTG raises to t1600</font>, UTG+1 calls t1071 (All-In), <font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero???

How active has UTG and UTG+1 been? Either way, you cant call, its either push or fold, and I probably push here.

Both have been pretty active. UTG+1 lost a huge pot a few hands before, to pocket aces when he had pocket kings.

He's not folding but he's here with AJ/KQ so I guess with the overlay, this has to be +EV.

Push.

I think this is standard. shorty really could be any two random cards. The opener will be forced to call you with anything he raised with, so you probably have near zero fold equity, but whatever the rules of the game allow him to fold, you might have a smidge. AQo should fare decently against his range, and theres plenty of overlay... I think this is a standard push.

This is a fairly standard push and I'd be more than happy to do it.

I figured it was pretty standard.

I did push. UTG called and showed a pair of sevens. Shorty had 5-2 soooted and won when he rivered his flush. I didn't improve and was knocked out.

Thanks for the help.
