Default $11 AQs with Big Draw

Here's the kind of hand that can kill a tournament for me. No read on villain at this point. I've got a big draw and I'm getting good odds on each street. Do I just push the flop?

I didn't have any more searches left on SharakScope, but now I see that he is a pretty big losing player - -31% ROI. Knowing this, would this change your play at all?

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t50 (7 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

UTG (t1875)
UTG+1 (t1855)

I don't really like the flop / turn play with one guy alive behind.

I want to push the flop but it kinda sucks as a king never folds here.

So I like a fold on the flop.

Agree with rex that you wanna get it in on the flop as well but you can get away from the hand...nice fold

I dont see the advantage of 3 betting here instead of shoving becuase if you raise the flop it would have to be to at least t700...leaving behind around t500 so you both are gonna be committed on the turn if he calls the flop raise. With the shove you have a better chance of him MAYBE laying down tpwk.
