Reconstructed from the best of my memory of a hand from about 2 years ago at Running Aces.
$100 No limit hold 'em tournament

120 people started
40 people left

30,000 average stack
75,000 our starting stack

• Folded to us in the cut-off with 6h6d and we raise to 2,400 (started with 75,000)
• Button calls (started hand with 80,000 chips) -- player has been pretty straightforward ABC; betting/calling when he has it and folding when he doesn't.
• Small blind folds
• Big blind calls (started hand with 60,000) -- player has been a bit spewy; playing a much wider range of hands pre-flop than most other players at the table.

1) What action do you take as first to act on the river?
2) If we check and the button bets 25,000, what do we do?
3) If we bet 22,000 and the button goes all-in, what do we do?
4) Analysis of our play prior to the river?
