Default QQ OOP 3-way Axx flop

$50 MTT. Should I cbet the flop. Button's bet looks like a weak positional bluff or probe. Should I fold to it anyway?

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t50 (10 handed) internettexasholdem.com

MP2 (t1750)
MP3 (t3135)
CO (t876)
Button (t1635)
SB (t1540)
BB (t820)
UTG (t2195)
Hero (t860)
UTG+2 (t1400)
MP1 (t1785)

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t150</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, MP2 calls t150, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, Button calls t150, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>.

Flop: (t525) A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>

bleh. hate these situations with that size stack. I definitely would have led out the flop. Now it is definitely push or fold. I think i push and hope to take it right there. Button does have a little more maneuverability with his size stack, so he could be posturing with a pocket pair or weak A or just playing position. you represented strength preflop, a push may get a weak A to lay this down. The only hands we don't want to lay this down are smaller pairs. If we are committed to getting all of our chips in, then i can see check/calling on every street,trying to get value from a bluff by button, but i like the little bit of FE that you have with C/R at the flop over this line. A weak A is not going to be convinced you have an A if you check/call all the way thru.

still not sold on the correct line here. lead the flop and if your raised, let it go.
