I was playing a $4.40, and after a few levels, (we were at 50/100) I came into the following situation.

***SORRY I DON'T HAVE THE HH, I'M NOT AT HOME***
Me (button) 4,500
Villian 1 (E/MP) 4,100
Villain 2 (BB) 1,500
Hole Cards Dealt [Ad,Qd]
Villain 1: Raise to 300
Me: Calls 300
Villain 2: Raise 1,200 to 1,500 All In.
Villain 1: Calls 1,200 (He thought a long time, felt weak)
Me: Raise 3,000 to 4,500 All In. (Decided that I wasn't crushed by Villain 1, Villain two had been loose, so I could have him crushed)
Villain 1: Calls.

I know the hand played questionably, and I probably should have folded to the first shove, but I realized that I was at worst racing against Villain 1 for a 6,000 chip pot, and probably am not crushed for the whole pot of 9,500 or so.

Knowing only that I'm not worse than 45/55 vs Villain 1, is this too early to gamble? I put him on a range of AQ, AJs, KQ, PP JJ or worse. Is this a spot I should be looking at the pot equity to gamble, or just fold it and wait for a better spot?
