Poker Content - MTT question

I decided to jump into a tiny little $2 tournament yesterday to kill some time while Lola went to a movie (the one with Jennifer Aniston and a dog). I was cruising along not really paying too much attention, playing my usual too tight of a game. After it was all said and done I finished 11th:
Full Tilt Poker Tournament Summary $2 + $0.25 Tournament (73780885) Hold'em No LimitBuy-In: $2 + $0.25
Buy-In Chips: 1500
425 Entries

11: Schaubs, $9.78 - what a return on my investment!

So with first place worth over $200 I thought I had a good chance to take this thing down.

Here is where I would like your opinion. What would you do?

Seat 1: BennyTheBrik (119,752)
Seat 2: Schaubs (50,432)
Seat 5: cyruskash (69,511)
Seat 6: RedJake777 (47,788)
Seat 7: redpoker10 (31,938)
Seat 8: Glyper (26,724)

Schaubs???

I don't want to be results oriented here and maybe this is the wrong place to be posting a poker question as I usually don't get the feedback I need in this space. I've been going elsewhere for my poker feedback, but I thought I would give it another try and ask all of my valued readers their opinion on what they would do.

I'll post the results either in the comments or in a seperate post next week when everyone has had a chance to catch up on their reading and has recovered from their turkey comatose.

I can't wait for NFL Sunday tomorrow. It's gonna be a good one! Go Chargers, Go Dolphins!

Two posts in one day?? Who is this guy...

You are gambling when you call. You just have to understand what range of hands this guy will do this with. If he's stealing, he's assuming that the range of hands you are playing here contains many hands that you will fold if shoved.

KQ isn't always that strong of a hand. You are behind any ace or pocket pair. Shoving first, this is a good hand for that. I personally tend to fold KQ here and wait for a better spot or be very aggressive with it from the start.

Fold. You have no FE. Basically OhCaptain said it best. I'm just piling on. Vancouver 09. I'm gonna make it happen.

without any reads i don't think you can call. even if it is a steal with ATC, you're not a big enough fav to risk that many chips. this is why i like raising around 2.5x pf when blinds start getting redic. then you save a few chips when a shove monkey puts it all in behind you.

go chargers!

Easy fold. You have enough chips to keep being aggressive and win this thing.

Fold. Best case scenario, he has two undercards and your have a small lead. Worst case scenario, he has an overpair and you are a huge dog. More likely than not, you'll be in cointoss land, but why play a cointoss at this point in the game if you have enough chips to fold and pick a better spot.
