Villian is a regular , but from my notes hes kinda loose and very passive (open limps 77 for example inMP) he also likes to berate players...(stats are 30/6/1.2 over 600+ hands)

Preflop call ok? Figured we could easily play for stacks on this hand.

As played whats the best line and why??

I normally play preflop similar to that - you're getting some big implied odds.

As for the flop - techincally with say 8 outs (2 4's (although 1 may complete an AK flush) + 8 for you're open ended straight (although 2 may complete the flush) you're not getting the right odds but you'll definately have some implied odds - I'd probably fold here still, but there's definately an argument for calling...

fine, i called preflop maybe 50/50 but its hit or nothing post flop. Can't always count on low draws with 3 people in pot.

you dont get much value from a fout strait
you could push as a semi bluff or fold
calling is not an option imho
