Default FT 25nl play slow or play fast?

I normally hate slow playing but this looked like a good time to. BB and CO were both bad players. BB's stats were like 40/10/1 over about 100 hands and CO's stats were 70/15/3 over about 50 hands. The BB had been playing crazy and calling preflop almost every hand and betting most flops. I would normally fold this preflop but wanted to be involved in hands with the 2 donkeys at the table. I was running about 18/10/2.5 at this table at the time. I knew the BB would bet if checked to. Is this a bad time to slow play since 2 villians involved even though one is just a short stack? How should I proceed?

Full Tilt Poker
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $0.10/$0.25
5 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: $23.15
CO: $37.60
Button: $7.90
Hero: $24.75
BB: $6.70

Pre-flop: (5 players) Hero is SB with T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
UTG folds, <font color="#cc0000">CO raises to $0.5</font>, Button folds, Hero calls, BB calls.

Flop: J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] ($1.5, 3 players)
Hero checks, <font color="#cc0000">BB bets $1.5</font>, CO calls, Hero calls.

Turn: A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] ($6, 3 players)
Hero checks, <font color="#cc0000">BB is all-in $4.7</font>, <font color="#cc0000">CO raises to $9.4</font>.

Hero ?

slowplaying on that board is hideous. I don't even call the minraise preflop either. fold the turn.

Your thinking about this is backwards, you should be betting and raising here to protect your hand. By slow playing these hands you are giving people good odds to out draw you. By betting you force a decision on your opponent and make them build you a pot when your hand is best.

CRAI on the flop. Shortstack will most likely call with any piece of the flop or any draw. If CO is bad he might even stack off. Turn card is ugly. I'm not usually aggro, but I want as much money in the pot on this flop against two donks as possible.
