How about some reads?

Reason I ask, is that if you put the button on a wide range of hands (since he is the button, and perhaps additional reads) I would re-raise pre-flop. Infact with 99 I will often re-raise preflop against "typical" .5/1 players on the button.

Many people raise the button with a wide range of hands even if they are not first in... I think the pfrr is good eventhough you end up out of position post flop...

what do you think?

I think you have to avoid putting yourself in the situation of the river call by playing more aggressively. C/R flop or RR pf would avoid the situation.

Given the fact that you called preflop. When the flop comes, if you were to check, you would be fairly certain that the button would bet out. Now you c/r and the two UTG and BB are faced with calling 2 cold. So, they probably fold. If they don't, be on the lookout for trouble.

The T is not a happy turn, and the river diamond is not good either, but if you were heads up with the pf raiser things would be looking much better than being against a BB who called down the entire way.
