Still relatively new to poker, so I'm learning. After looking at my past hands, one of the holes I found was holding on to TPTK even when it's clear that I'm beat. Trying to work on that, and then ran into this last night.
No real read on villian, have only played about 12 hands with him. Seems a little LAG, but not enough hands to really tell for sure.

With no raise preflop or flop, but a raise on the turn with a straight showing? I'm guessing he had A4,K4, or maybe connectors. Regardless, even if he has 2 pair, I'm toast. He could be bluffing, he does have position on me, but I dunno. I don't think I'm ahead at this point, it's only a question of how far behind I am.
So what do you do, call or fold?
