2. 5/10 NL Holdem. 6 handed with 1000 stacks. You're on the button at an ultra aggressive table with 9h8h. UTG raises to 40, you call, big blind also calls. Flop is:

As 7h 6h

BB checks, UTG bets 80, you call, BB raises to 300, UTG calls. What do you do?
Fold
Call
Raise all-in
Didn't read those all, the answers where easy given that you had used the blue font. I just wanted to comment on that one just a little bit. BB makes a pot-sized check-raise. I would never fold a straight flush draw on that. The table in this case is ulrta-aggressive, so the check-raise could easily be even something AT, for example. You have 15 outs there, 6 outs to nut straight, 9 outs to the flush which most likely is also the winning hand. I haven't folded a straight flush draw once in my life, and I never will. Even without the straight flush, the straight would be the nuts, and the flush probably also a winning hand. I like those odds.

A 15-out draw on the flop hits 54.12% of the time, turn and river combined.
