Bottom Pair + Fl. Draw
 

Button was LAGy, table was passive overall. Not sure about this flop play. I thought it would conceal my hand and that I had about enough outs to make it worthwhile.

Just call the first raise from button as your equity isn't that great HU and there is very small chance that you still have the best hand. The rest of the hand looks good.

Re: Bottom Pair + Fl. Draw
 

is that a no brainer PF call? i wouldn't personally do that but i'm trying to expand my VPIP.

Re: Bottom Pair + Fl. Draw
 

Button's open-limp on the button is certainly strange, and probably means he's holding AA or KK.

Not a fan of the 3-bet on the flop in this case, but otherwise I think you played ok.

Edit: And the preflop call seems fine

Just call the flop raise if you want to get that $.

No. It probably means he's an idiot.

Ok, maybe not with 50% certainty, but I'm inclined to think the button is trying to get tricky if he open limps on the button when he is LAGy. This actually happened to me the other day when I held TT in the BB and got reraised.

Pretty standard I think. 4:1 immediate pot odds to see a flop.

It's certainly possible, but I think it's far from probable. It's more likely that he's generally confused about poker.

No, when a lag open-limps there, I have to agree it indicates a very big hand a lot of the time. It has no bearing on whwther or not he is indeed an idiot.
