First of all, this is a $24 online tourney. There are few dangerous players in the field. In fact, I would say there were basically none at my table. The question in these low-limit tourneys is are they absolutely terrible or just ok players?. I would say the all-in player was absolutely terrible and the player with chips was ok. I wasn't afraid of either of them if they got more chips.
BTW, they didn't have position this hand, because I was on the button and they were the blinds.
In retrospect, I like the bet because it did help confuse my table image and helped get me paid off later by a bad hand (calling a 10 times the BB reraise with A3o is really a bad play, and good for me when I had QQ), and I did pick up some chips.
If the guy with chips was a strong player, I'd be more likely to make the play, because it's less likely he has a Q or J than the bad player, and he wouldn't just check-and-call. He'd probably lead, and I would have folded bottom pair in that case.
