Call, he is a short stack and you have already put in 25% of his stack on the middle. Folding here is a bigger mistake than calling imo.

You should already know before you put the flop raise in the middle how you are going to react to the other players actions. That way you aren't left wondering.

Yea i'd already decided I was going to play for stacks. I wasn't sure whether or not it's a bad play to make or it should be pretty standard in this situation.

I'm not sure the flop raise is going to accomplish what you want it to.
If your ahead right now, there isnt too many turn cards that are going to hurt you. You don't really want to chase out the weaker flush draws either. If you raise big and get action, I think the players that stick with you are gonna have better aces,2 pairs, and sets. Occassionally there will be someone that goes nuts with a weaker flush draw, but generally I think when you make a big raise like this it's gonna shut them out. I would just call in position here and let the 2nd pair hands keep betting, and people with weaker flush draws get there.

this is a hand you should be willing to stack with on flop, but you will mostly be coin flipping when you do. You profit in taking an aggressive line comes mostly from fold equity. So it may not apply too well to 5nl where villains are not able to fold top pair.
