Button has been aggressive recently, and I haven't seen too many of his hands 3 handed. He takes his time but I've seen him do some stupid things.
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (3 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

Hero (t4275)
BB (t5390)
Button (t3835)

Preflop: Hero is SB with 9/images/graemlins/club.gif, 7/images/graemlins/spade.gif.
Button calls t200, Hero completes, BB checks.

Flop: (t600) 7/images/graemlins/club.gif, 8/images/graemlins/spade.gif, Q/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t400</font>, BB folds, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises to t800</font>, Hero calls t400.

Turn: (t2200) 6/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">Button bets t2835 (All-In)</font>, Hero folds.

Final Pot: t5035

Do you make this call? Are you even in the pot preflop?

I think completing is fine here 3-handed, with the blinds so small (relatively speaking).

I also like the stab on the flop with your stack. But I'd probably fold to the raise though.

I think your job is done.......check/fold

You can probably efford to look at a flop. However i think you should let it go after you get reraised. You can only improve to 2par, which might give him a straight, or trips on the turn. If, however, he would call instead i would consider pushing the turn with your straight draw.

I can play this preflop or not, don't think it matters too much. You were there so I'll defer to you.

I fold when raised on this flop, seems mandatory.

I usually wouldn't lead on this flop though. Big stacks, long way to go, why get frisky at this juncture? Check-fold the flop is my play.
