I really like to have the button with the big drawing hands, but the button may still fold anyway.. hmm..

I have this argument w/ a friend all the time. He defends his button and will try to buy the button w/ marginal hands to gain the advantage.
I think this is a good plan for NL (which is what he was playing, now switching to limit), but I don't think it's a good reason for limit.
I think in limit, you have to be more concerned w/ playing your hands for what they are worth. You have a suited connector with not a lot of top-card power. These are good in multiway pots, but not very good HU.
You need a big pot to play this, why not let the blinds in?
The reason you need a big pot, is because you need to get paid off for a hand that is going to hit a flop about 15%-20% (probably wrong here) of the time. You want 4 or 5 players in the pot (at least) to pay you off for taking this risk.
