Default I have a straight what do I do?

What would you do on this river? See reads section.

Poker Stars - No Limit Hold'em Cash Game - $0.01/$0.02 Blinds - 5 Players - (LegoPoker HH Converter)

SB: $5.35
Hero (BB): $3.66
UTG: $2.88
CO: $1.86
BTN: $1.53

Reads: <font color="blue">Guy is a huge station. Will literally call down with any hand, draw or bottom pair or even 2pair. Not sure what he overbets with unfortunately. I am likely viewed as semi active but not too active that someone may have noticed I might be FOS often. FWIW this villain was likely not paying any attention to me in any hand that he was not a part of. </font>

Preflop: Hero is dealt 5 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (5 Players)
UTG folds, CO calls $0.02, BTN folds, SB calls $0.01, Hero checks

Flop: ($0.06) 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] T 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (3 Players)
SB checks, <font color="red">Hero bets $0.06</font>, CO folds, SB calls $0.06

Turn: ($0.18) 8 (2 Players)
SB checks, <font color="red">Hero bets $0.20</font>, SB calls $0.20

River: ($0.58) 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 Players)
<font color="red">SB bets $0.88</font>, [i]Hero??????
Pot Size: $1.46

Tough spot. Didn't someone once say you should never go broke in an un-raised pot? I don't think a lot of these players have any idea about pot odds, etc...

But, with that said...

I still probably call this over-bet with your reads.

in my experience at this level, most overbets on the river are what Villain thinks is the nuts... so I personally would tend to fold here.

Vs a calling station like this, I'm leaning towards a call. Enough times you'll see an ugly two-pair or some terribly played set to make it worth while. Sure, a non-nut flush is for sure possible here, but your str8 combined with his looseness and perhaps lack of judgement make this an +EV call here, IMO. Big bets do mean big hands at these stakes however you have to take into consideration what exactly does a "big hand" mean to this specific opponent.
