An interesting TT hand.

So my reads:

UTG hasn't been involved in many pots at all. He's loose, not particularly aggressive or passive (34/9 preflop).

Button has been consistently aggressive with stealraising hands from just about any position but either hasn't had the opportunity or the cards to 3-bet often at all. He's a 34/19/1.6 player, and he's very aggressive postflop, but I've mostly seen hands of his that have been normal raises preflop, not incredibly light 3-bets. That said, he's still capable of a fairly wide range of 3-bets, moreso than an "average" player at least.

SB is loose-aggressive bordering on maniacal at times. 3-bets small pocket pairs from the blinds. Terrible handreader postflop. Calls down when clearly beaten.

I'm mostly interested in my preflop and flop play. I considered capping preflop but I think I prefer calling looking to checkraise a friendly flop and check-call or check-fold flops that look particularly ugly. I'm also interested in my flop call. The basic thought was that I have a 3-straight, giving me some additional outs, and sometimes UTG will have a hand like A9s/AT while Button has an 88/99 that he doesn't bet on the turn, and I can see my way to a showdown thusly.
