The little things. Abusing your stack.

[lorinda]

This is a hand that many of you will have played a thousand times, but it occured to me that these simple hands don't get much discussion.

This hand is probably far more interesting than it first appears, feel free to discuss it or ignore it at you feel fit.

$11 at stars, UTG and Big blind have been playing reasonably tight, but are looking like they are probably not stupid enough to fold themselves to death.
They are also not stupid enough to get themselves killed.
They are however slowly losing chips to the button.

The button has been raising frequently, but only for small sums and has generally taken it down on the flop with small bets (400 or so)
Whenever I've challenged these small bets, I've moved him off the hand, but in general I've been happy to let him do the work.
He's also been abusing the button to limp in and bet the flop.
