4-bet preflop.

As played you're in a sick spot. Any reads on button and what kind of hands he 3-bets? I think I'd probably fold readless, since I think KKxx is a sizeable part of his range and has you crushed, not to mention you still have to worry about UTG+1 left to act behind you.

With your stack you should reraise preflop (You can commit 40% of your stack) and push all in on that flop.

Re: Not sure when to get the money in
 

I would consider this a missed hand (especially with UTG+1 still in) and fold. I've been playing pretty conservatively, lately, though. I could see an argument for pushing, though.

You aren't far behind a pair+straight draw, so a push could force out UTG+1 unless he's really strong, and it could also force the button off of the pair+straight draw if he doesn't feel like gambling and sees you as nitty. And if you are behind, you have 2 and maybe .5 outs. So, you could embrace variance and push. I don't know how often Button has two pair+ here, though, which he probably won't fold.

4-bet PF LDO. Why wouldn't you want to get 40% of your stack in with AA against an aggro button 3-bettor?
