Be gentle on me, i'm still a noob....

Stars 5.50 Quad Shoot-out, 1st round.
Been lots of folds to pre-flop raises all around. First time I called a pre-flop raise from the BB that I recall. Button had raised pre-flop a few times, but i would not call him loose.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t150 (3 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

Button (t4240)
SB (t2975)
Hero (t1785)

Preflop: Hero is BB with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
Button raises to t450, 1 fold, Hero calls t300.

Flop: (t975) A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero bets t1335 (All-In), Button calls t1335.

Turn: (t3645) 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 players, 1 all-in)

River: (t3645) 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 players, 1 all-in)

Final Pot: t3645

Edit: I would NOT call the button loose.

you're playing 3 handed? repush preflop if button has been raising loosely.

since button has been fairly loose push preflop.

My bad. I meant to say that I would NOT call the button loose. Bet that changes things, eh?

even though he isnt loose you said he raised a few times preflop and his on the button as chip leader so he is raising a lot of hands that your ahead of therefore you should push to pick it up preflop or get into a race with something liek KQ and KJ since you need a double up at some point to win this.

Given that I didn't push pre-flop, was my push on the flop ok?

i check/push any non committed bet by button. i can fold given your read.
