Default Stars $10 / 180; Top-Two & facing turn decision for all of my chips

- About 80 players remain

- Villain (UTG + 1) is 45/21/1.4 (turn aggression is at 4.0) after 82 hands

- Table is quite loose. As a whole, pre-flop raises are getting little respect.

Given the manner in which the hand developed, I'm having a hard time putting him on a hand that I'm beating often enough to go all-in. I don't think that calling the turn raise is a viable option:

- A6: possible (6 combinations)
- 87: possible (16 combinations)
- Pair / Heart FD Combo: I suppose something like KhTh, QhTh, QhJh, or JhTh is possible, but there aren't as many combinations because I have the ace-of-hearts.
- Diamond FD: possible, but unlikely because I'd expect a flop raise
- Set: highly unlikely, given the pre-flop & flop action
- Lower two-pair (such as A9 or T9): highly unlikely, given the flop action
