Default Is there a better way to play this?

Me $400
Button $2600

I am playing in a 2/5 NL game. I am 2nd from the button and first to act with 10 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 10 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. I make my standard raise to 15 and I am called by button with big and small blinds folding. The flop comes back A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 6 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 4 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. I make a bet of 20 and am quickly called. The turn brings a 8 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. I check button bets 40 and I fold. I really cant put him on any draws so he must have an ace, right???

This is pretty standard. You might wanna bet the whole pot on the flop.

The button just came from a broken game with a huge stack. I was only involved in about 10-15 hands. He had not played many hands keep complaining about shitty cards and ask for new set-up about 3 hands before this one.

In 2/5, I would open for $25 every time. Generally, people open for amounts as they relate to the blinds, but in a game like this that is irrelevant, because $15 means nothing to most people. I would recommend openiing for $25 w AA, connectors, anything - Make people pay if they want to play with you.
