Tough beat. Were their antes in this? With the 3 limpers I probably just ship the QQ instead but regardless it's all about how villains perceive you since some will think a ship means a weaker hand or a raise to 1/3rd your stack means you can actually fold when you shouldn't at that point.
If their were antes I'm always shipping but still pushing 85k to pickup the 3 people in plus you = 24k in the middle it's just too juicy to not jam in this spot for me instead of making a raise people either will think is super strong or for some reason think they should call you with Ax type stuff that might even just call a jam regardless.
Just my opinion anyway but as played the hand still is a tough beat no matter how you look at it.
