Default Q,Q 180 person sng (cross post with mtt)

I told some folks in the pacific game I would post this hand here. sorry for the cross post.

This is a 180 person sng. There were approximately 30 people left and top 18 paid. I was in 6th place at the time. The utg raiser in this hand had shown himself to be a donk, but I did not have any notes on the mp pusher. A call/push and I win and I am on top and in good position. A call/push and I loose and I am likely ootm. What would you have done?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t400 (8 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

UTG+1 (t3600)
MP1 (t9745)
MP2 (t4820)
CO (t8565)
Button (t7610)
SB (t15185)
Hero (t13165)
UTG (t12720)

Preflop: Hero is BB with Q, Q.
UTG+1 raises to t1600
MP1 raises to t9720 and is essentially all in

HERO ?

Pushes and sometimes runs into AA/KK and doesn't win a race vs AK.

So be it.

Online you cannot be Phil Hellmuth, so you should instantly push/call/cheer! If you lose so be it, getting a huge amount of chips here would set you to win lots of chips when blinds incrase. Also, this is alot nicer than having QQ in the BB and being folded to, even with the suckouts.

In this case, it is a SnG MTT on Stars.

But it's not really a "One-Table Tournament". I'll let it pass, I suppose, but c'mon.
