Default Re: Is this straight draw worth calling until the river?

[ QUOTE ]
Reads: MP bets small when he doesnt have much
SB is a calling station with low hand valuation.
BB seems fairly tight.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t150 (5 handed) converter

SB (t1455)
BB (t2210)
UTG (t1130)
MP (t4035)
Hero (t4670)

Preflop: Hero is Button with 7, 6.
1 fold, MP calls t150, Hero calls t150, SB completes, BB checks.

Flop: (t600) 8, 4, T (4 players)
SB checks, BB bets t450, MP folds, Hero calls t450, SB calls t450.

Turn: (t1950) 4 (3 players)
SB checks, BB bets t450, Hero calls t450, SB folds.

River: (t2850) 4 (2 players)
BB bets t450, Hero folds.

Final Pot: t3300

I'm not a big fan of the flop call for several reasons:

1) The player you read as tight is making a significant bet.

2) SB was still yet to act. (Probably not going to raise, but it is still a consideration.)

3) If the turn is a 9, you have the sucker end of the straight.

I would never call on the turn. How many outs do you have at this point? Let it go.
