I'd call instead of 3 bet the flop then donk the turn if a safe-ish card fell. I do this to stop SB and Button getting a free look at the river if they have overcards.

I don't think overcards are the problem here. You have odds to c/c the turn and should c/f 2 back to you here. Betting isn't protecting 55 here, 55 is more likely not the best hand. We WANT a free card!

OP intimated that Button was a flop auto-raiser after a PFR so in this hand I think there's a reasonable chance he has UI OCs.

I admit, I don't like SB's coldcall on the flop but absent a read I can't give him credit for a made hand either. Should I?

1. Stats do not support the statement that Button is an "auto raiser" no matter what the OP said. The cold call is another good signal to slow down.

2. What do you consider a made hand here? What do you beat here UI? IMO, not very much. You ARE NOT protecting a 55 here.
