Button has been aggressive recently, and I haven't seen too many of his hands 3 handed. He takes his time but I've seen him do some stupid things.

Do you make this call? Are you even in the pot preflop?

I think completing is fine here 3-handed, with the blinds so small (relatively speaking).

I also like the stab on the flop with your stack. But I'd probably fold to the raise though.

I think your job is done.......check/fold

You can probably efford to look at a flop. However i think you should let it go after you get reraised. You can only improve to 2par, which might give him a straight, or trips on the turn. If, however, he would call instead i would consider pushing the turn with your straight draw.

I can play this preflop or not, don't think it matters too much. You were there so I'll defer to you.

I fold when raised on this flop, seems mandatory.

I usually wouldn't lead on this flop though. Big stacks, long way to go, why get frisky at this juncture? Check-fold the flop is my play.
