Hello, have been lurking on here for quite a while, have been playing the penny games to start learning. Have read through the anthology/sticky quite a bit, but have a long way to go before even compehending all that great information. The anthology encourages to post hands for learning, so I'm going to post a couple today that has left me confused as to what was the correct play.
Villian in this hand was much more aggresive after the flop. Just to get the history a little I'm going to post one hand that Villian and I were in that led me to my confusion on the real hand in question. He had pushed like this several times throughout the game.
Stats on Villian 56.76/4.50 over 111 hands. BTW, what is the third stat supposed to be from Poker Tracker? X/Y/(Z)

I have a straight draw, does that justify a call of the turn raise? Or since the board is already paired, and Villian could already have a straight, should I have just folded. Should I also have just checked the turn?
BTW, the preview of this post looks really wierd (my first) did I do something wrong? I just used the converter and copy pasted the results.
