Re: calling for str8 on paired flop
I call preflop and fold on the flop when it's two bets cold. This just isn't a very good spot for a straight draw. You call the field loose passive and you're not getting great odds here to chase (11:2 on 6ish outs). You need to worry a little about the ace as an out (AK), but your 9 looks pretty safe. Spades are a little bit of a worry, but not as much as seeing a Q/J/T come on the turn/river as that's a very boat-y board.
