The original plan was to get up against the blinds priced in for any all-in. Once Button gets in on the action, I'm not sure what to do. I tried the Stop and Go, but I'm not sure it's the right play.

As an aside, fossilman insisted in a post on the Stop and Go that you should push on the flop no matter what, but isn't it likely that Button has an A here? Is that a reasonable exception to make?

i really don't think that that is the best place for a stop and go. i know you have to call a raise, but not a reraise... pretty ugly flop as well. As chip leader, i don't think this is a wise move.

Once the button gets in, I would fold to his reraise here. You should decide your action if the button comes over the top as part of your initial plan. With a hand of this strength, if I decide not to fold to his reraise then I just push instead of the raise to 500.
