UTG+1 was 53/19/1.7 over 50 hands. Button was 40/6/2.3 over 200 hands.
How else do you play this? I didn't know if I should reraise PF since the Button called. Thoughts?

3-bet to about $1.80. Button is playing 40 percent of his hands, which means he will be calling raises with a lot of hands that are worse than AK. 3-betting also would also invite another raises from UTG+1 if he has AA or KK, which a PFR of less than 2% make a real possibility of here. Admittedly, thats only over 50 hands though.

On the flop, I would be a bit more conservative with the raise, since TPTK is not a hand I like to stack off with. When button calls, I would seriously consider just calling here to try and keep the pot under control. As played, you pretty much have to shove the turn, even though AA, KK, and QQ seem some real possibilities at the moment due to UTG+1's willingness to keep going in this hand.

I'm reraising preflop and peobably folding to more pressure and put it down to AA/KK.

Flop in a reraised pot I'm felting here. In your pot I see this as somthing of the KJ/KK/AA ilk. Basically you are OOP and you have little more than ZERO information on his hand. You missed your chance to define it on the preflop. Just pray he has AK/AJ and you are winning/splitting!
