reraise more preflop...at least $2, probably $2.5

He called 1.75, I don't think he's folding for 25cents more. I'm asking for help on the flop please.

Make it $1 PF and then raise it to $3.5 or $4 when it gets back around to you after UTG+1 reminraises.

On the flop I'm tempted to peel one off. That said, I don't hate folding here because I get to see what he has.

[Lucky]

You're getting 3 to 1 for youre money, get it in. He didnt flop flush.

You're playing scared.

At least call, and bet/raise safe turn.

I think if you're going to play this hand, and folding is not a bad choice, then you push the flop. Your weak lead just wasted $3.00. When you look at the stack sizes if Button just calls your bet then the pot is $12.10 and you have $4.95 left. So what is your bet size on a blank turn?
If you're going to end up all-in then push the flop and be aggressive, and avoid difficult decisions at the turn and/or river. Your weak lead puts the Button in the position that he's got to raise or fold. Calling is really not an option since he'll be all-in on the turn anyway. Do not give the Button this advantage. Force him to make a correct decision.

I push the flop. I'm not kidding. When he minraises, I'm all in.
