TT's facing aggression.
2/3 NL.
LJ open limps, I raise in the HJ to 15 with TsTc, the CO calls, folded to the SB who makes it 50 and it's folded back to me. The SB is a late 60's white guy. He has been doing a fair amount of limping and cold calling in the hour I have been at the table but this is his first raise. He seems to be playing straight forward post flop. My image is probably a bit agro since I have been getting dealt good hands and raising a good bit pre. In theory that could play into the SB's decision but in reality I think he just has a strong hand. My gut tells me this is QQ's+ for the SB. I say this based on his age, lack of raises, and my short experience at these limits. Maybe he has AK. The CO is a bit on the loose side but seems to have reasonable hands when he cold calls. I'm thinking mid pocket pairs, good suited connectors and broadway suited hands. I suspect if I call the CO will call. The problem I see is that I feel like I am set mining most if not all the time if I call. Both the CO and the SB only have 200 effective.
What would you do here?

Seems like an easy fold, especially given your read and the fact that both opponents are short-stacked.
P.S. You should state the effective stacks at the beginning of the write-up, since otherwise the entire hand is unfolding with missing information.
I would fold.
He sounds like a weak player who's probably raising KK+, maybe QQ and possibly AK but based on his read it sounds like he's way at the top of his range.
Ha mong, I literally just posted something almost identical to this situation.
I would overlimp in the HJ but that's my preflop style.
Trivial fold to this guy's 3bet at these small stack sizes as we're not remotely getting the IO we need to setmine, imo.

SB has only $200, so it's a fold or shove for me, and I fold.
