Default NL50: Flopped top set against a shorty...

Bodog full-table. Opponent in SB has approx. $30--I have him covered. He seems fairly passive and donkish, such as doing things like min-raising UTG with AQo, or min-betting a flop/turn/river with a bluff-catcher hand like MP/crappy kicker. I haven't seen him do anything aggrotarded.

Preflop: UTG calls $0.50, and I raise in UTG+1 to $2.50 with AA. It's folded to the Button who calls $2.50, and the SB raises to $4.50. The BB and UTG fold, and I reraise to approx. $14. The Button folds, and SB calls $14.

Flop: ($32.50) A24r
SB checks, and I...

a) Check behind, and hope he catches something on the turn in order to call along.
b) Bet $7, which even while offering him nearly 5:1 likely doesn't give him odds to catch whatever he needs to win.
c) Bet $17, and hope he'll call the all-in. If he folds, oh well, he likely wasn't calling any size bet anyway, and besides, it's stupid to allow him a cheap card to catch when you can only win another 1/2 pot-size call from him.
