Live $2/$5/$10: Playing the Idiot End of the Str8
6-handed, we're straddling every hand. $1000 eff. I'm in UTG straddle with 3♦ 2♥
Loose passive fish limps OTB, SB fish completes, BB completes, I check.
Flop: 6♣ 5♣ 9♠ Pot $40 Checks around
Turn: 4♦ Pot $40 SB leads $35, BB makes it $85
BB is a fairly competent player, quite aware of hand strength. I'm kind of ruling out 87 because V is competent enough to fire that OTF, especially with the flush draw there and for many other reasons. I'm not sure how often 73 is in BB's range there. I think two pairs and PPs are in V's range here.
Given all this, how do we proceed and what's the plan for the river?

Call down on any non straightening river.
You might find a fold on pairing rivers as well when ppl lim with small pairs here and raise them OTT.
The $85 looks primarily like villian thinking 2 pair is good and trying to figure out where they are at, while hopefully getting it heads up to river for cheap. If he flopped the straight and is competent, he should of bet flop...and more importantly would raise more on the turn, something like 120 to charge draws.
I feel like flatting has its merits....but i feel that we have the best hand here a good chunk and that we need to raise to charge flush draws and 2 pair.
