Not having position here is really terrible. Considering that you capped pre-flop and bet the flop, I'm thinking that the button must have something to be shooting back at you after you've shown such aggression. I'm thinking JJ+, and you're drawing to either 6, 2 or 0 outs.

Alot of my decisions here would rest on my read of the button. I've seen people play something like AQs or AJs like the button does here.

Without a read, I lean towards betting the flop like you did and folding to the raise. Give him credit for a med - high pocket pair.

On the other hand, if I mark this guy as loose aggresive, I might even call him down unimproved..

If he has a pair of QQ or worse you have odds to see the turn after he raises you, so unless you can put him on KK or AA, you should definitely be seeing the turn.

Given that the button has rasied at every opportunity I dont see how you can tell the difference between JJ-AA here. Assuming you can rule out AK here, I think you have to consider it a 50% shot that you are drawing to 3 or 0 outs.
