    Default What to do??

    Looks like we are up against a straight here, but can we really fold in this spot? Opponent is loose passive, so a check/call check/raise is a bad result for us...

    I would think this is an easy call since you have the redraw outs if he does have the straight, he could have 78 J8, AJ or something of the sort, and lastly even if you call and lose you still have a pretty good looking stack with 3700 with only 30/60 blinds.

    I would probably call that too.

    call, this isn't close. Is this the hand you meant to post? He didn't c/c or c/r, he has position on you.

    To elaborate on why I think this is a call, his range on the flop looks a lot more like 89 that paired than a 45 that got there or a 9t that was gutshotting. I am pretty sure the ignorant end doesn't make enough sense in this spot. But if he had some sort of pair+gutshot, or the 89, he now has enough of a hand to try and take down the pot if you are only on top pair, and he has outs vs any strong hand.

    And yeah, its not like this is a real bad leverage situation, its nowhere near the money, and its not for all your chips. He may just be some idiot who was slowplaying an overpair and is now panicing that you may be 4 to the straight + a pair.
