Was this stupid or pointless?

Well i think the best part about monster draws like this is having a lot of fold equity which I think went out the window here being he bet so much with so little left.
If he was deeper I think this play would be better b/c he may fold kings figuring I have a set and hes slaughted or hes barely ahead of a monster draw.

I agree with this. These kinds of plays are always better if the other guy might fold, which is doubtful here with all the money he put in already.

Also, i'm not much for c/r with big hands/huge draws (like this one) but here you put 4 players in the middle of UTG and you after you check so I like the play.

If it was only you and UTG i like potting it and 3-bet all-in if he raises more.

If it was heads up I would have did exactly what you said, but with so many callers I was hoping to get some dead money in the pot first

You are ahead against an overpair. Your play is good.
