Hi, i think you should be call and see flop and evaluate the strong of your hand in this level and with information from your opponent, you can win good chips.

How would you play this hand?
First-hand at the final table, you're UTG with a 2.7 BB stack and you get kQo. What would you do?
Give me more information: size of the blinds, SB stack and BB... so I can answer you more reasonably

in this case I think the shoving range is any pocket pair, suited connector, Ax, Kx...

Assuming you are the shortest stack at the table, you have to just shove and hope here. KQo is in the top 8% of hands, so you're unlikely to get a better hand in the few hands and the blinds are about to eat you up. Get it in a pray.

if you don't go all in with that hand, the deck will punish you and you get a 72o in the BB.

With a 2.7BB stack and hitting the blind next hand, I do a fist pump and jam it in like i have pocket aces.
My God... That is not necessary to think about it. You don't even have 3 blinds. On the next big and small blind plus the antes, they eat up the rest of the stack. This is all inside, they are good KQ cards, these are high cards and you can hit top pair or two pair or a straight, it is even likely that you will hit a 4-card flush in ShowDown. Also with partner LuvePoker pointing, moving all in from UTG, you pretend to have something strong like TT+AQo+KQs+. and KQo is close to these ranges.

Tournaments are won by those who are brave, not going all in with those cards is being too cautious and losing the opportunity to win more chips and maybe with some luck until you get a better position or even win the tournament.
