50NL TT v shortstacks, Ace flop

[raze]

Second hand, no read on opponents. My first hand, I posted in MP, made the same 5x raise, and took it on the flop.

How should I adjust my play to account for the short-stackedness of my opponents? I believe it's much easier to induce a weak hand (or total bluff) to push in than to bet them in on the flop - thus, I would certainly get more value in inducing a flop push than to bet it myself. However, with 2 opponents calling the 5x raise, is it worth continuing at all even against these short stacks?

UTG: $8
Hero: $28
Button: $8

Hero dealt TT

UTG limps, Hero raises to $2.50, Button cold-calls, UTG calls.

(A-8-4 rainbow) Pot = $8 ish

UTG checks, Hero...

Dont post in MP.

Check the flop here. Im giving this up I think.

Marginal between betting to protect a hand that needs it (three different overcards could beat you) and check/folding on the notion that someone must have an ace. The probability of no one having aces is greater than many think, but it's still hard to bet this with much confidence.

I bet a small amount and give up if they do anything but fold

Seconded. Not much of a draw to bluff-push on with this board, so a caller is a likely ace (and if it's just a pair, maybe they'll check it down).
