Poker Stars $3.00+$0.30 No Limit Hold'em Tournament - t30/t60 Blinds + t5 - 9 players

CO: t3000 M = 22.22
BTN: t837 M = 6.20
SB: t6510 M = 48.22
Hero (BB): t2403 M = 17.80
UTG: t2517 M = 18.64
UTG+1: t2700 M = 20
UTG+2: t4113 M = 30.47
MP1: t3382 M = 25.05
MP2: t5382 M = 39.87

Pre Flop: (t135) Hero is BB with Q :spade: Q :diamond:
3 folds, MP1 calls t60, 1 fold, CO calls t60, BTN raises to t180, 1 fold, Hero raises to t420, 1 fold, CO calls t360, BTN raises to t832 all in, Hero?

I am pretty sure CO has a fairly weak range here so I'm either 5b or shoving for value. Which line is optimal I think if I shove he will most likely fold, but we pick up a nice piece of equity. If I 5b im just looking to dodge an ace or king but shoving every flop regardless. Thank you for your input!

I shove because I think it will actually look weaker than 5betting smaller. You will still get called by many dominated hands in this stage of the tournament (77-JJ AT+ KQ type hands) so just play straight forward and shove.

Him folding isn't all that bad and the buttons range is really wide and you are well ahead of it.
