the basic question is whether you get all the money in or fold the hand at some point?

easy fold for me, not only because it's the bubble. with a double paired board, your flush will almost never be good. Bubbling here sucks because you have 5x the chips Button has.

I don't mind leading on the flop, but with a double paired board I'm folding the turn all day long, especially with BTN being sooo short.

well your bet on river is awful.. won't be called by worse hands , and there is a mega short button, so you have to keep pot as small as possible. I don't mind call on turn if he keeps hes value bets that small, but definately river is check/call small bet(&lt;=1000)/fold other bets.

check/fold turn. Stab on flop is fine.

Re: 22$: bubble - flush on river. difficult decision.
 

I guess the turn call is almost mandatory based purely on your 5.5:1 pot odds. But leading the river is terrible. This guy is obviously a minraising, minbetting idiot, so the glory of the situation is that you can see a way ahead/way behind showdown super cheap. There is a decent chance he has a naked ace, but there is absolutely no reason to bloat the pot.
