correct play with aggressive button?

PP, .50/1 pot-limit table.

I'm dealt K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] in the BB with about $70. Five limpers back to me, I check. Flop comes Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. Checked around to button($60, playing wildly IMHO) who bets $2 into a $7 pot. I check-raise the size of the pot (about $10), all fold to the button who reraises all-in. I fold and he flashes 10[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] for a flush and gut-shot draw.

This hand haunts me. Should I have bet out on the flop? (not that that would have changed button's play...) Do you play your draws as aggressively as the button on this hand?

Thanks in advance.

I play like the villian a lot, and I would fold in you situation unless he is VERY wild.

Your hand isn't that much of an advantage over his, so I think the laydown is correct, unless you were really looking to gamble. Depending on my opponent, I'll play my draws like that -- especially if I know they are the type of player that will laydown TPGK to an unknown. T8d is a hell of a drawing hand there; the only hand I'd rather have is JdTd (obviously). [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
