I don't know why you're posting this but your call on the flop is a mistake. You don't have the required pot odds to call here.

I can see your thinking but the bet on the turn is pretty goofy too.

Don't i have implied odds? And with the turn bet, I think if i hads checked he would have bet something like 200, then i wouldn't have been able to call. With that bet i got to call my own price, which were good odds, no?

Implied odds are difficult to quantify but yes you can (and did) stack him when you hit. You need to be careful if you're always calling thinking you have implied odds because it only applies in very specific situations.

The problem with the turn bet is that you're inflating the pot without a made hand. Why would you want to do that? Personally, I'd hope that the strength I've shown by calling his flop bet would be enough to see the river for free.

The other problem with the turn bet is that it looks weak, it would be easy for him to raise here and you'd be stuck in the same position as if you'd checked and he'd led out.

Finally, the turn bet size is such that he's required to call almost regardless of what he has. You're hoping to outdraw him but what if he outdraws you?

No, you don't have the implied odds here since the button has less than 400 chips left. Even if he he was deeper stacked a call is dubious since you might actually have reverse implied odds if he is on a higher flush.
