The button calls 30 and then min-raises on the flop for 40% of his stack. Generally you're up against a monster (99, 88, QT, J9) or OESD at worst with any ten, unless the button's just a total donk.

I don't have pokerstove on this computer so can't run TPTK against the likely range of monsters + OESDs. My play here is usually read-dependant and depends on your style: You've got zero FE here. read-independant if you're going for ROI then I'll fold this and pick a better spot. If you're going for $$$/hr I'll shove and hope the OESD doesn't come.

At the 22s, I shove and expect to get called and shown a worse J or a straight draw most of the time.
