I would call. Why push him off a worse hand or a draw?

If the turn doesn't complete a draw, I bet around 3/4 of the pot and pray he calls.

If the turn completes a draw, it would depend on my read.

This is read dependent. Yes, you want him to stay if he is drawing (unless he has K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]T [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] or J [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]T [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]) The goal is to get as much of his money in the middle before the scare cards come since you usually do not know if villain is chasing a straight or a flush (here it was both which is bad luck). Here, OP thought villain was on a bluff or semi-bluff.

On a less scary board I think you can call and let villain continue to massacre himself, but with this board there are too many scare cards which would kill your future action.
