I more or less put my opponent on a straight draw. Still felt right to call. Still feels right I just have straights on my mind.

Why wouldn't you want to get your money in when you are ahead?

<font color="#f7f7f7">Opponent needs J8 or 86 to have a straight. Given that you raised preflop, those are a lot less likely.

So at what point are you scared of a straight? Or is this </font>just a bad beat post<font color="#f7f7f7">?</font>
