Right? Once Button calls 2 cold, I have to put him on a flush draw a lot of the time. So, easy fold, right? What do I do with that action on a non-flush board? Raise again?

It's close because of BT. I don't think it's an easy fold. You have SB beat here a lot. An 8 isn't "no kicker." I may call and fold to a button raise or raise and fold to any further aggression. A fold’s not bad. A read on BT would be immensely helpful.

Preflop - I raise. Take control of the hand and make these guys pay with their trash hands. When you raise preflop you end up with a bit more definition to your opponents hands postflop.

Anyway.

I wouldn't fold the turn. I'd just call down. Still not folding to BTN's raise and I can't fold the river.

As far as your questions about BTN, you have to answer those questions at the table based on your own observations. Given the avg. 1/2 player I wouldn't put him on a flush draw a lot of the time since there are a lot of cards on the flop that he could have in his hand.

I'm not sure if I'd raise again if it weren't a 3 flush. The stop/go means so many things for bad players. Sometiems it's just a pair, sometimes it means 2 pair, sometimes it means a draw; they're just nutty players. If you find that he's an habitual stop and go-er, then definitely pop... but that's about the only time that I do, is when I've got that kind of a read.
