Hold onto the small straight?

[Siegmund]

Agony and ecstasy, not necessarily in that order, in a hand from last night.

MP1 and Button are loose preflop (MP1 played 76o from late position a few moments ago) and limp with every connector they can get their hands on, suited or not. I havent caught them playing crap like Kxo, and postflop they have been behaving when I've played against them. CO is new to me.

I was delighted with the flop, of course - but perhaps unwisely, thought I'd checkraise the turn rather than get in the extra small bet now.

Q isn't as scary as 8 or J would be. Maybe I should have checkraised anyway to make sure the gutshots got out, but a double bet isn't folding an OESD or double gutshot. But then...

Oh boy. Somebody loves this hand. Is it time to quit, or pay 2 (maybe 3) more bets to see the river and then a couple more to show this down?
