Hero checks, Button checks.

<font color="green"> Should have I bet on the flop? I know Button to be a loose caller. In fact, 5 hands before he had called my AA all in with 99 for a significantly larger amount of chips. After he checks, I don't put him on the ace, since he is the type to bet it out. </font>

Turn: (t1500) 9/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="blue">(2 players) </font>
<font color="CC3333">Hero bets t1155 (All-In)</font>, Button calls t1155.

<font color="green"> I decide, with second pair and the straight draw outs to take a stab at it. Should I have checked instead of bet? </font>

River: (t3810) 4/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="blue">(2 players, 1 all-in) </font>

Final Pot: t3810

I'd go with the trusty all-in preflop with less than 10BB.
