NL200 Strong draw with mixed stack sizes, play it fast or slow?
NL200 - Bodog
Maybe this is really straightforward and I'm over thinking it.
a couple of limpers to me on the button with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
My stack is ~$270
I make it $15 to go
BB (stack ~70) calls, UTG+1 calls (stack ~300)
Given the BB flat call, I assume he's a bad short stack player and could be calling with a pretty wide range as bad short stacks do.
Pot ~$50

BB leads for $20, UTG+1 flat calls
My action?
I generally would play a strong draw like this pretty fast given the donk bet and caller, but the mixed stack sizes make me think I should flat call and peel one.
The short stack almost always has some sort of made hand that I'm flipping with. I'd really like to keep the UTG+1 player in the hand with a lesser draw. It's also possible that he has a big hand that he isn't laying down and I'm behind both players. If UTG+1 flopped a set, I think he would raise quite a bit, but he would want me in the hand as much as I want him in the hand. But since he's limp/calling I'm not giving him a while lot of credit.
Thoughts?
