Sahara tournament

[Joe_d72]

Playing the Sahara tournament started with 174 down to 18. I have a short stack of about 17,000 with blinds at 2 and 4 thousand and going up very shortly. Kid in middle postion makes it 12,000 to go has been doing this with many hands turned over a-10 9-9 and k-j at this level with that raise. I look down at A-Q suited next to the button. I have to push here right? And what other hands are you pushing here with?

Thanks
