$2 NL HE: A/2s on the button with 2 limpers

Almost midway through the 36 player tournament with about 20 players left. Top 4 pay out. Villain (MP1) has been semi-aggressive; pushing a few all-ins, and but has also been limping in every other hand. Blinds are at 50/100

With 2 limpers, I raise my suited Ace the standard raise of 3x the blind. BB calls, and villain calls. Now, I've flopped bottom pair with top kicker and the nut flush draw. Villain leads out a huge bet (a little less than the pot). What would you do? Would you have even raised before the flop? Folded, or limped?

Stacks:

sharioke with 2855
BTN with 1720
SB with 1140
BB with 4175
UTG with 3470
MP1 with 2060
MP2 with 3270

Firstly, u need to adjust ur pre flop raises when people have already limped into the pot so raise about 4/5BB pre flop. On the flop, ur opponent bets an amount which basically tells u he'g going with this hand so i would just shove the flop fully expecting a call. U can easily assume u have 14 outs (2 deuces) (3 Aces) (9 diamonds). He probably has a hand like KJ or K10 and its a virtually coinflip on the flop.

With an M = 11.5, I wouldn't hate shoving preflop. Either that or make it like 550 preflop, and shove 90% of flops.

i would have done what you did or just limped, cause you would probably have to lay the ace down if it hits the flop and someone bets it. as far as after the flop i would bet or re-raise, and carefully consider making a call with/ a reraise. if their chips equal 2/3 or less of my chips i would push all-in.
