am i a puss? my thinking here is that the button is the only halfway decent person left. i've got position on him, plendy o chips, and the blinds are very low. i lay this down b/c i'd be committing all my chips with a tie at best and a chance to get drawn out on (tiny chance)if 1 of the players has an A or set. i STRONGLY put the button on a Q here. the UTG is in deep doodo leaving it 4 handed. i feel comfortable that i'm a clear favorite to finish high here if i dont get unlucky or gamble too much.

any thoughts?

Let me be the first to say that I think that decisions like this depend largely on the table texture. Sometimes I make plays that people hate, but it seems to work....

That said, I think you pretty much boned this.
