Equity! Not against button, but against the other two limpers. They usually call one bet. Ok, that plan backfired when button raised.

He's the preflop 3-bettor. What makes you think he's NOT going to raise your bet NOR bet out himself when you check???
This is an obvious check-raise, and that represents the Q even more than just donking, imho.
As far as tells go, some good advice has already been given. Don't look at your cards until it's actually your turn to act, and always give it a few seconds before every action, even if that action is already clear to you...
And the laid back "simply enjoying myself" attitude really works, even against opponents you play regularly. If you're well liked at the table, they'll mind less that they lose to you.
Maybe not a good comparison, but if you've ever watched televised high stakes poker (I know that's NL, but still). Who would you rather lose your chips to and still remain at the table? Daniel "positive attitude" Negreanu or Phil "tilty explosive - even if it's just for show" Helmuth? [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
