I really wish I knew what the button had in hand #2. He called the 3-bet preflop but didn't call a single bet on the flop? Maybe a mid PP?

Dont ya think it was a blind steal that was caught by a TAG (Fnord). And the button didnt want to waste any more? HIs choices at this point are either raise or fold.
Holy crap I cant play against Yoda!!

Hey thanks for bringing that up, good point. I didn't analyze his play based on his position well enough. That's most likely what happened.

Remarkable show of restraint to lay that down for one bet. Although, when you're on a steal and the SB 3-bets 9 times out of 10 you're in trouble.

Here's a really bad use of aggression. I thought I could reprsent a monster here and fall back to my outs....

Wouldn't it have been smart to fold to his re-raise on the turn? I don't think calling his 3-bet even gives you correct pot odds for the river card. Were you hoping to catch the Ten for the straight? Unless you were putting him on second top pair giving you 3 + 3 + 4 outs. (3 kings, 3 queens, 4 tens), and making your pair / straight on the river to call/re-raise him.

I'm just giving my thoughts, but I barely play Limit so correct me on where I'm thinking wrong, I'm trying to get better at my limit game.

11:1 and he might have a strong enough hand to cap the river. It's close, but I probably could have let that one go...

My biggest mistake was trying to push back against a SB 3-bet blind defense. Lesson learned.
