PAHWM: 54s in HJ, Button Straddle

button is gonna defend his straddle like every time and the limpers are gonna come with, possibly one or both the blinds too, so I don't see much point in raising here, unless the table dynamic is different from the one i'm imagining.

The table:

$1/2NL: I have $360.

I've only been here a few orbits, but basically the Button has been auto-straddling (putting in 2bb's before the dealer cuts the deck, so action starts with the player to his direct left, and then he gets to act last preflop, regardless of position; postflop action stays the same). He's clearly there to gamble and doesn't want to miss out on any flop action ever (has been pretty much auto-calling raises as high as $16-$18 as well when people try to iso him), but he's not drunk or way out of hand postflop or anything. He has me covered.

This has made the table dynamics pretty splashy in general with medium-sized pots happening constantly and large pots happening more frequently than usual.

MP is a young flashy dresser (studs in each ear, Beats by Dre headphones, designer polo). He seemed like the type who might be at least a little taggy, until I saw him play for a few orbits. He probably opens more than the usual live player, but he's playing like 40/10 and not folding to isos. Earlier I iso'ed him with 54o in an earlier hand, cbet a KK9r flop, checked back and turn 5 and vbet a river 5. He steamed pretty bad about that, talked to the player next to him at great length about how terrible I am (not meaning for me to hear, necessarily) and all that fun stuff. Generally steamed way more than I'd expect from someone whose jeans are worth more than the pot he lost. He has ~$250.

I have no reads on BB; I'll assume standard middle-aged live player as of now. He has close to 200 in chips.
