With the NFD I usually re-raise and since you have TP I'd suggest it, though your probley behind a bigger kicker. As for the turn I'd bet out say for 3/4 the pot you have a lot of outs to win.

I'm trying to get as much money as possible in on the flop here. You are huge right now and Button looks like an idiot. Put in a raise to around 10+.

As played, you're in a tough spot on the turn. Folding looks so weak but it doesn't look like you're ahead at all, especially with only one card to come. I dunno, if you stick it in you're getting called obv, so fold I guess??

I fold PF, I don't care that he's a LAG. It's better to play LAGs in position.

On the flop I like a c/c and then I fold to that big bet on the turn. At best you have 12 outs on the turn, he also may have AA, QQ, 44, AQ, AT that gives you only your flush outs and the Th may not even be good.

Flushdraws with a pair are usually teh nutz, but when it is top pair, then it isn't usually that big a deal as three of your usual outs are missing.

It is marginal, but with two players in the pot, I guess you can make an implied odds call, since you are closing the action.

my mistake - I didn't see SB called. I call as well, although, you need to consider your hand when those other outs hit and play them cautiously.
