Re: Is this straight draw worth calling until the river?
I wouldn't call this an open end straight draw. You have a double gut draw, where a 5 would make you the nut, but not the 9. Don't think you can count all your outs here. With the turn your done.
In my opinion, you would be better off raising at this level. You add FE to the number of times you hit. Even a miniraise (which I normally hate) will normally put you in charge of the hand. Better chance it will be checked to you on the flop. Standard continuation bet makes even top pair weak kicker lay down if there still playing weak tight. Just a few more ways to win the hand.
