Finally a marginal hand where i can gauge my tilt level

Villain is Taggy and will attempt to steal. I think 3 bet is std and I lead flop in case he didnt have an A. Do I let go to the flop raise? IF not, what is the turn plan?

I dig the flop call because any number of things might happen. You may have a large number of outs, you may improve to a four flush on the turn, and if neither of these things happen, he may check through on the turn. Also for meta game considerations, you don't want to fold to a flop reraise every time, and may consider taking this line again when you actually have a hand if this op really is taggy and attentive. I would chuck it to the turn bet, but yeah right in there is where the tilt factor can kick in. Save your money for a fight that you can win.

If Button has a pocket pair, you have six outs (unless it's KK or QQ). You could be up against Ax, in which case you're drawing dead. Plus it's not a big pot. See where I'm getting at? Fold.

How about a flop 3bet and make that weak tightypie 2/4tag fold his PP?
