I tend to get promiscuous in a pot this big if I have any shot of winning it. I would definitely have checked the flop hoping the action would unfold like it did. The only way the flop action could have been better is if button had bet and both blinds had folded, but the fact that BB folded makes this a sure checkraise for me. My play looks exactly like a fancy play syndrome monster and I am happy to drive out anyone who is just flopping around with an Ace or a Queen or even a pocket pair for that matter. The pot is massive and you have to at least call the flop anyway so, although your situation looks desperate, investing an extra small bet here (even risking the possibility of two if button 3-bets) seems like a bargain.
