Against most villains, 3bet/call pre to 425.
If flatted, don't fold post unless the flop is a really ugly JT9sss or something.
As played, call.

first time around is almost definetly a 3 bet. If he's running at 25/25, we're well ahead of his range. Button can be squeezing a fairly large range here with only 25BBs, so calling makes sense as well.
