Calling and taking a flop isn't, but you will be OOP and have to be willing to go broke with TPTK.

Raising here is pretty solid. You often have UTG crushed and if he does call this reraise (which is just about always) he will go broke if you both flop an A and he has a worse kicker. Also, button will likely fold a PP if you raise. Also gives you nice FE against UTG on a flop that misses both of you.

I am not afraid of being behind the raiser, but should i be worried that button calls? Or should my thinking be that he is thight, and is likely to fold to a reraise?

I guess if you raise you just have to play very carefully if button calls, right?
How do you like calling and taking a flop?

button likely does not have a hand that dominates you. he is solid enough to not call with incorrect implied odds for a set but even if he does, we make more than enough off him the times that he doesn't hit a set to make up, and the times that he hits a set, we don't always have a pair on the flop and thus he does not always stack us.

If I see a flop without raising, and it comes 1010A, 2 hearts (I have spades), should I just lead for full pot?

Checkraise all in? Or check/call, lead if UTG is crazy agressive postflop.
