I agree with a lot of what you said but I don't really agree with this - I see very few regs opening the button so big - it's by no means certain, but it does incline me to think of him as a bit fishy.

I'm interested to see what others have to say here. In my experience at 10nl, bb vs button generally tend to call too light, and 3bet too tight. I'm not adjusting from x3 here if I think bb is calling too much. If bb is folding a lot, then I'll drop to x2.5

I certainly do not think that a x3 open from the button at 10nl is indicative of a fish. Whether it's optimal sizing is another matter. But the vast majority of players at 10nl are not betting optimally, so I don't anticipate a x3 open size to be a worrying leak at these stakes, even if it is sub optimal, which I'm not convinced about. It depends who's on the bb. In this case, it's you, and you say you don't have much history with the button. Maybe he's testing the water.
