I don't mind calling and winning vs. the flush draw. or a missed 78/etc. The K changed little unless he peels w. AK (which I doubt).

Preflop I'd make raise to 1.25
Flop I'd bet 2.75
Turn looks fine.
River I'm torn on. Call depending on reads

I agree with littlebu about the pre-flop and flop; on the river I think you fold here unless Button has made similar moves in the past and shown air (or weak pairs, etc.)...given the texture of typical NL25 games, you could see such a wide range of hands from missed draws to two pair (though my experience with pot sized bets like that on the river from an average player is that they usually have a good piece)
