KQo on the bubble

I find that I keep getting pushed off hands on the bubble and getting blinded out. Is this hand worthy of a stand? If so, should I have pushed as my first action?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (4 handed) converter

UTG (t5695)
Button (t2045)
SB (t3120)
Hero (t2640)

Preflop: Hero is BB with K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
UTG raises to t600, 2 folds, Hero raises to t1200, UTG raises to t5670, Hero calls t1415 (All-In).

I'd fold. I don't like calling with KQ. Second choice would be to push and prey that he's just trying to bully you. You really don't want to see a showdown with KQo.

I'd fold, wait until you can be the aggressor. You still have some time, blinds aren't killing you just yet.

But if you're willing to call all-in here, just push yourself.
