Given his position and his hand I like his play a lot.

I made a very similar play in a home game last week. But my opponent had KK and I got paid off even better.

What a nice play by the Button.
If you cannot recoginize the beauty of Button's play, try some NL cash games. You will see it a lot.

if this were no limit it would be better, suited connectors lose value in limit

Is it that great to 3-bet with 54s with an early position raise and cold caller? With the pot that big and atleast 2 other players, it may not be easy to steal the pot by representing something. You may not get payed off enough if you hit. When he 3-bet, there was a pretty good chance, I would cap, since I could easily have AK or QQ-AA. 54s is not considered real strong in limit and is ranked level 6 by Sklansky. I know villain has positionI can see some point to the play, but it is hardly standard.

This is not a low limit cash game and I would not reraise an early position raiser from the button with 54s in a no limit cash game either.

I would play the cards all day long, but I would just call with thm, and close the action. Of course, I wouldn't be that liberal with ako either, but who knows...

never say never -- it's important to vary one's play. maybe this guy plays this way all the time or maybe he decided he'd do something different just to throw people off and got lucky.

did he get paid off? yes. did he probably put you on at least a mini-tilt? i'm guessing he did. are you more likely to assume that he's always raising with weak hands and therefore pay off his future monsters? probably.

looks like he plays g00t.

I don't understand this at all.
