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

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

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.
