I like the Buttons flop bet rather than slow playing, but i hate his push on th end, i'm checking it now the board has paired...

I agree. I also like how BB played it, its super passive but if aggro player is betting all the way i dont mind it.

I like buttons play apart from the shove on the end as im not sure what he wants his shove to get looked up by, I make a smaller value bet and consider folding to a shove. This may well be exploitable on the river but so few people will exploit this by bluff check raising the river that I think its fine.

Button I suppose pf flop is fine though i kind like squezzing a button raise here and taking it down preflop. Postflop i personally lead a set on a monotone board but given he has a read on button, his line looks fine. I like his play on the river as played as if he bets out he doesn't get full value from button bluffing or betting a made flush etc.
