Default In BB, call/shove(fold?) KQ?

It's 9-handed, pretty early in a 45-man tourney. KQ seems too good to fold here, but calling nearly pot commits me on all but the ugliest flops.

Try a stop-n-go by shoving any flop? Shove preflop?

$55+$5 Hold'em No Limit - Level V (75/150)
Table '55928577 5' 9-max Seat #9 is the button
Seat 3: Hero(1200 in chips)
Seat 9 (button): mikeb247 (1930 in chips)
Hero: posts big blind 150
*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to Hero[Kh Qc]
...folded to button...
mikeb247 (button): raises 300 to 450
Dyl Griff (small blind): folds
Hero (big blind): ???

SNG is better than shoving here, as you only have K-high and are almost gusranteed to get called.

Its a good time for a sng, obv check push a Q or K high flop. If your opponent is at all observant (stretch) though you could you'll be called a little lite on the flop. Even bad players seem to try sngs w/ a stack similar to yours now.
