Can you explain your reasoning for calling the flop?

Sure. Villain's range is still very wide. I'm not sure I'm even behind at this point, and since he's so aggressive I expect to get paid off if I hit my gutshot. So I figure if I'm behind I have 4 outs to a straight, a backdoor flush draw, and a chance that pair outs are good. Villain could be betting anything from 8 high to pocket kings here. I have a few lines open to me on the turn -- also, if he has complete air or a weak draw, he will often check behind on the turn, so I'll have a better idea where things stand by the way the turn plays out.
