Playing the button with a call, it’s vital to think about the players left to act behind you and what their tendencies are. Too often, when facing a raise, poker players think only about how to play back at the raiser, without thinking about the opponents previous hands of play earlier in the tournament.
On the other hand, if the players in the blinds are tight enough to fold some big hands, then it does make sense to try to shut them out of the pot by re-raising on the button. If you know that they’re tight and would only call two raises with a monster starting hand, then your re-raise gets you valuable information heading into the flop.
Don’t forget about the players in the blinds. Their tendencies should always be considered when you’re deciding how to get the most value from your big starting hand on the button.

I hope you copy and pasted that from somewhere, instead of typing It out.

If you're Patrik Antonius or Phil Ivey then please stay and post on the PHA board.
If you're not, then don't take us for mugs - post properly or go away.

Your OP is a statement.
If you want help and advice or to start a discussion ask a question.
