Default I\'m an idiot (Very Low Content)

Nothing much to see here -- I'm mainly posting this to humiliate myself for taking a slightly positive chip EV risk which has the possibility of being hugely -$EV. Please bash me so I don't do something stupid like this again...

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (5 handed) converter

MP (t1290)
Hero (t2280)
SB (t425)
BB (t3710)
UTG (t295)

Preflop: Hero is Button with J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t600</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, BB calls t400.

Flop: (t1300) 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t800</font>, <font color="#CC3333">BB raises to t1600</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t1680 (All-in)</font>, BB calls t80.

Turn: (t4660) Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

River: (t4660) 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

Results in white below: <font color="#FFFFFF">
Hero has Jd Kd (one pair, jacks).
BB has Qc Qh (three of a kind, queens).
Outcome: BB wins t3780. </font>

Any raise at this point is close to 25%+ of his stack, push or fold pre-flop, really either way. What's the read on the Chip leader? If he's LAG then im not risking it here.

There is one part of this that is utterly utterly criminal and it's not what you think it is.

[ QUOTE ]
Hero raises to t1680 (All-in)

[/ QUOTE ]

If you win this pot, do you need those 80 chips?
If you lose this pot, would you have wished you still had them.

Sure, he will often put you all in anyway, but why make it easy for him?
