Good hand for newer players to examine

[Mike]

I thought this hand had a lot of lessons in it for newer players so I decided to share it. It's a $4-8 LAG game, and has been this way over an hour now. Button is seat seven. Button is an experienced player, but for whatever reasons never raises, he also has a tendency to fold the river. He has a friend in seat ten whom he tells, "I am raising this hand, no matter what." I would also like to note that player on my right has been playing erratically, I didn't think he had a lot of experience. He told me a short time later he had been playing 30 hours straight.

Preflop UTG comes in raising, two calls and another raise, called to me. I'm in the CO with JTo, I call. Button true to his declaration raises. It's back to me with a family pot, pot capped preflop, 20 BB in the pot.

Flop comes down 6,4,T with two clubs. I have top pair and an overcard to the board, my Ten is a club, life is good. SB bets out, called to me I raise, Button re-raises, folded to player on my right who calls, I call. Pot size beyond normal comprehension, no oint in counting any higher.

Turn is the King diamonds, I see player one flinch, he must have folded KK, that's a relief. Player on my right checks, I check because I am sure Button will bet and I want to raise as the Button and Player on my right are both visibly in pain. Button checks!!!! Not good for me, I am sure not betting out has just cost me the pot.

Turn is 2 clubs. Board is now 64TK2 with three clubs. Player on my right checks, I bet, Button holds his hand so seats eight -> ten can see it as he mucks. Player on my right is in real pain, he starts to put out his call, pulls it in, repeats this four times. Finally he throws in his bet, and flips over JJ.

I muck my JT face down. Button groans, seat one swears and is reprimanded by the dealer, seat nine is also mumbling loudly, but not in English. Seat ten tells me Button threw away AA.
