Default Re: I\'m back - 88 in the BB

I think raising the flop is in definite order. While I normally would cap preflop, given the button you described, I think calling is okay.
The fact that the button cold calls lightly should make the flop raise easier, not harder. If he does manage to catch his 3 or 6 outs, then oh well, you still will make more in the long run. (And when the button cold calls, you can give a lot more credibility to a SB 3bet). Also, I think you missed a bit of value from this hand and perhaps by raising the flop and then firing the turn and river (depending on what hits, assuming SB shows no more aggression) is probably the way to go.

The way you played it makes the button play his hand perfectly.
