Hey guys, limping villain has big stack and likes to play a lot of hands. Plays very poorly. Completing sb has played solid not too many hands, but small sample. We are 4 places off the money. How can I check whether it's more worth to slowplay or fastplay the following hand?

Poker Stars, $10 Buy-in (400/800 blinds, 100 ante) No Limit Hold'em Tournament, 8 Players
Poker Tools Powered By Holdem Manager - The Ultimate Poker Software Suite. View Hand #37825942

BTN: 72,313 (90.4 bb)
SB: 20,920 (26.2 bb)
Hero (BB): 16,175 (20.2 bb)
UTG+2: 37,380 (46.7 bb)
MP1: 40,756 (50.9 bb)
MP2: 30,214 (37.8 bb)
MP3: 22,304 (27.9 bb)
CO: 34,696 (43.4 bb)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 5

4 folds, CO calls 800, BTN folds, SB completes, Hero checks

Flop: (3,200) 3

(3 players)
SB bets 1,600, Hero raises to 15,275 and is all-in, 2 folds

You know they're going to be extra cautious on the bubble so they're not going to call off with anything that isn't strong. And their ranges aren't going to be very strong here at all. So I think I'd play it a bit slower.

A flop like QJ5dd would be a better fast playing board I think.

Given there was no raise preflop and the texture of this board, I would plan to call flop and then raise turn. Like Darth said above, a board of QJ5dd is a board we would rather be raising on.
Given that you did choose to raise though, I think the raise size is awful. It folds out nearly all of SBs range (we want flush draws to call).
I would raise to something like 5,600 and then try to get it all in on the turn.
