(i think i need suited to make me a stars table with 'PATIENCE!' imprinted)

well, you're 5th out of 6th in chips, button could have a wide range.

i don't see much wrong with this move, really?

maybe if you held something like 98s, you could make this thread

pretty bad. fold or call.

He made a move from the button, there are 225 chips there, and you have a pretty strong hand. I don't think it is dumb. I would be slightly inclined to pass it up though.

If you have a couple of hundred fewer chips I would like this play but as it is call and play with position.

[11t]

I would call and see a flop, I think it is far more preferable to betting like 8x the size of the pot.

Don't be scurred.
