I build a big pot

Button is LAG. He likes to raise scare cards. Other players are LP and very fishy.

I don't understand the donk bet on the turn. Either 3 bet the flop and lead the turn or call his raise on the flop and c/r the turn. I'd probably go with 3 betting the flop to get CO out. Also, it's also very likely the button has a draw or top pair mid kicker or mid pair, so charge him another bet.

As for the river, trust your reads. Since you say he likes to bet scare cards, I may just call this one but its very close. If it was HU on the river, you and button, i'd call his bet in a heartbeat, but the CO confuses things.

As for the stop'n'go, I didn't want to inflate the pot on the flop. Probably I should have check-raised the turn then. No chance button won't bet it.
The river is really a killer, 4-to-staright-flush and me having 2 pairs makes it even less likely they are on pair(s).

feel like folding for 1? I do, unfortunately. and yes, checkraise this turn if button will bet. I think the gaybet on the turn is awful, to be brutally honest.

So I folded the winner for 1 (I'm expert at this). Button had AJ, fish A5 - no flush.
Seems like my turn mistake cost me the whole pot.
