I think that if we are proceeding to the turn we should raise the flop. The promotion opportunities here are unbelievable.

Basically, if we continue to play it's because we think that a high percentage of the time we're beating BB because he's a lagtard. Therefore, we really need to try to promote our hand if we're going to play, because the Button has us beat here a vast majority of the time it would seem. If he's really weak and a nut peddler, I advocate the following line:

Raise the flop. If button calls, you are done with the hand on the turn. If button gets out of the way, be prepared to take the hand to showdown.

Sound cool?

I guess the call on the flop was because:
-Button would raise an overpair and I could get out of the way
-If I raise the maniac might 3 bet because they are only small bets and it would get expensive to see a turn.
-it would be easier to get the button to fold a better hand with a turn raise and the big bet might shut the manac up so i can take a free showdown.

another thing, I felt bad about calling 2 bets back to me preflop. is this standard?
