Button is a LAG, but I hadn't been at this table long so I'm not sure how good he is. The rest of the players are pretty passive postflop, but there'd been an average amount of preflop raising. (The tighest player at the table besides myself folded preflop.) I'm never sure how to play when I flop a moderate hand in the blinds and I'm hoping someone can tell me if I did this right.

<font color="#330099">I figure I should bet top pair to avoid a free card, but perhaps a checkraise is better? I can be pretty sure the Button will bet, but I consider it a catastrophe for my hand if it gets checked through. And since I got raised, should I reraise? If I do, why?</font>

<font color="#330099">I know the Button is loose, but I never saw him showdown nothing and he was winning more than his share while I was at the table. Because of this I'm content to call down against a possible better pair (JT or something like that) or rarely a janky straight. Should I still be betting here?</font>

<font color="#330099">The check is to set up a checkraise; I know I have some bettors and I'm pretty sure that two pair will take it home. Sometimes I lose to a straight, but I don't smell a slowplayed set.</font>
Final Pot: 17 BB
