Am I the only one who wants to get out of this hand? BB might cap with trash but we should respect the raise of Button. We are behind and didn't hit the flop at all. If we can isolate BB with a raise then I continue with the hand - else I fold an unimproved turn. We most likely only have 3 outs to beat the button and we don't know whether they are Js or As.

the button would cap with anything, he doesnt care about card quality or whether he has a pair. he bets because he can. his cards are truly random. the tight guy is capable of folding better hands, and when this happens it is quite a coup. we have a good chance of winning unimproved against the maniac and a good chance of folding out the rock, so lets invest a BB and win a bunch more.

Raise the flop. If button calls, you are done with the hand on the turn. If button gets out of the way, be prepared to take the hand to showdown.
