Nut flush draw doesn't come through

Button is a gambler, already blew his stack once and reloaded $15 and then doubled up, typical loose not too agressive player.

UTG is LAG after about 10 hands,taking down pots without a showdown, mixing it up with UTG and MP. Seems to be a better player than Button.

Lead the turn, value bet the river.

I call, since button is a gambler I would expect to see a worse two pair or KQ here. It is possible he slowplayed trip tens or sixes but I think the odds you are getting are good enough to call with two pair in this spot. UTG doesn't worry me anymore after his weak turn bet and river check.

I don't think i'd lead this turn, you hate to see a big raise from either player here.
Value bet river is cool.

As played out, definitely call river.

I really like my hand enough to call on the river. Why does the passive button wake up here? Does he think he'll take this down without a showdown? What hands does he show down?

Poboy, you said to value bet the river. About how much would he bet there?
