Default Overplayed AQ?

Early in a 20+2 SNG on Stars. No read on anyone yet.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t30 (9 handed) converter

MP2 (t1960)
MP3 (t1410)
CO (t1545)
Button (t1475)
SB (t1520)
Hero (t1450)
UTG (t1560)
UTG+1 (t1850)
MP1 (t730)

Preflop: Hero is BB with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">5 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">CO raises to t90</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t300</font>, CO calls t210.

Flop: (t615) 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t420</font>, <font color="#CC3333">CO raises to t840</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t1150</font>, CO calls t310.

Turn: (t2915) 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

River: (t2915) K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

Final Pot: t2915

Results in white below: <font color="#FFFFFF">
Hero has Ac Qs (two pair, aces and fives).
CO has Ad Kd (two pair, aces and kings).
Outcome: CO wins t2915. </font>

Preflop, I'm happy with how I played it -- I didn't want to call out of position, and AQ could be ahead of a lot of hands CO would open-raise with. On the flop, I was either way ahead or way behind...but the only hand I was way behind was AK (discounting aces, since I can see two of them and he likely would have reraised preflop).

Did I overplay the AQ, or am I just overthinking things here?
