I'm the most conservative player here, and I call the QQ [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

The reason , as others have said, is as follows.

There are six orders you can finish in this pot.

1st Hero 2nd Short 3rd Big = Hero HU with "all" the chips.
1st Hero 2nd Big 3rd Short = Hero HU with "all" the chips.
1st Big 2nd Hero 3rd Short = Hero takes 2nd place
1st Big 2nd Short 3rd Hero = Hero takes 2nd place
1st Short 2nd Hero 3rd Big = Still 3 players, Hero ok stack
1st Short 2nd Big 3rd Hero = Hero comes 3rd, posts bad beat

Factor in that Hero probably has the best hand and I think that's acceptable risk.
