I have TP-no-kicker, and button, who is a pretty bad player if I can judge from previous hands, is making yet another overbet at this not so dangarous looking flop, after he limped PF. It's not the first time he's doing it - few times he even pushed his whole stack into tiny pots, and all folded. Does anybody think it's a +EV spot? if so - what is my move if not folding my marginal trash? I'd suspect he has some medium-small pocket pair, or some straight draw. But he MIGHT do it with QJ, who knows. Strange spot.

CO called PF and on the flops before with some marginal hands, but also showed weakness several times and folded to aggression. He's kind of weak-passive, but not overly loose, and capable of aggression when people check to him. Doesn't look like a very good player, but not a very bad one. My image is tight at this point. Any thoughts about my play on all streets here?

This was a tough hand. Villain was rather new to the table, but made the impression of a very tight, very aggressive and decent player. I'm not sure I like how I played it, but I had my reasons. Any thoughts are most welcome.
