Villain is 39/19 over a 70 hand sample. Should I be gambling with KQs here?

As short stack I would gamble with KQs against the 2nd in chips. Only problem is that he shoves in to the big stack as well, but I expect you have most of the time at least 2 life cards in a spot like this and in this situation you end up against 1 of the worst hands you could face against.

Thanks for the response SDK.

Yeah, in retrospect, I think was just being a little too results oriented. WIth KQs and only 3.5bb left at a 4-handed table, it seems like a pretty reasonable call.
