Stop and Go or Push????

[Chuckster]

Live MTT 350 buy in....165 players....top 16 get paid....down to 40

Blinds are 400-800 and I have a short stack or 4500

I'm the BB and look down at AQ

Guy in EP with roughly 3800 left raises minimum to 1600. I was going with my AQ considering my situation. I decided to push. (everyone else folded to me) He calls instantly w/ K-10. Flop AJJ river Q for his str8. Whatever, thats poker...not complaining....

My question is that looking back at this hand I think a stop n go might have won me the hand. Considering he raised 1600 out of his 3800, he was basically commited to calling pre-flop, regardless of his stupidity of raising minimum out of position w K-10.

If I simply call the 800 raise and push w/ a flop of AJJ I think he might have folded his last 2200.

Thoughts??? Next time stop n go or push????
