Are you as good as Stick?

I had this play to make in a match in Vegas and I did not play it correctly.

As I was putting it in to XG several fine players gathered around to express their opinions. One of them bet me that he could name the top three plays in order if I would give him 10-1 odds, and a second player took the same bet.

Because I was not at all sure of the play I felt pretty confident I could win the bet so I took both bets.

Stick was also watching but didn't bet. The two players who bet me didn't get the top play right and one of them had a play that wasn't in the top 3.

Stick got the right play. I am losing 4a/2a and have a 6-3 to play. What's your play? (Over the board I did make the 2nd best play which was a .033 error.)
