Can anyone lay down this straight?
This hand came up the other day in a $2/5 NL live game. The table was playing semi-loose and pretty passive. The important characters are the BB, who has got about $200 and me, who has about $550 or so. The BB hasn't impressed me so far, making some pretty bad calls, going on tilt, etc. He had gotten sucked out on a few times that night, and steam factor figures somewhat into the equation here.
Preflop, I was in the CO, 3 limpers to me and I found 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] and I limped, button folded. We saw the flop 6 handed. The flop hits 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. Sweet, I've got a straight. Everyone checks to me, and I bet $35. The SB folds, and the BB raises $100 more. Everyone folds to me. What to do?
