I like your answer Alex. Against a smallish stack number 2 has a decent chance of working. I have tried it myself with success.

I don't like it cuz making it $7.50 to go will get no callers.

well, do you have a better alternative. I see why you would get no callers in my experience from playing with you, but if you start 3betting more often you'll definitely get more calls.

You could try and get cute and make it $7, which could induce the $15 stack to move all in, which would then allow you to shove your entire stack in behind.

first hand vs. donks is an easy raise. I forgot that OP said that. They're likely to call with all kinds of hands.

you will get alot of callers imo. I know I normally get callers. Seems like a great spot. Pop it to 7.50/8 and feel happy about it.

A large raise in order definitely. I would make it 10 to go. It's a large raise but you'll be surprised what calls you. You have to give the low pocket pair terrible odds on that flopped set.

Have you played before at pokerstars .25/.5nl? I've made it 12 in this situation and lost to a flopped set of fives.
