Although that card was a low card, it does complete a straight draw and also is in the range of a lot of 2 pair type hands

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.02 BB (7 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

SB ($1.91)
BB ($2)
Hero (UTG) ($1.97)
MP1 ($2.62)
MP2 ($5.14)
CO ($4.97)
Button ($1.46)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with 9, 9
Hero raises to $0.08, 1 fold, MP2 calls $0.08, 4 folds

Flop: ($0.19) 7, 3, 8 (2 players)
Hero bets $0.12, MP2 calls $0.12

Turn: ($0.43) 6 (2 players)
Hero bets $0.30, MP2 raises to $0.72, Hero???

The problem is that sometimes you'll get a nine making your opponent a straight so those are not always outs. Reads?

I don't see how you could possibly be ahead here enough to justify paying off better hands, so raising would be really bad
the worst he's doing this with is flush draw + overcards

you can take one off though because his raise is small
you have about 6 outs to the near nuts
two outs that make the flush
and nines are pretty tainted, but could win you the pot
sometimes you're good, too
pot odds are around 3-to-1 so you have to figure that you can take one off and fold to a river bet if you don't improve since if he had a hand like TT and missed his straight draw he wouldn't bet the river

I think this is pretty ez AI. We have too many outs vs most of the hands that he has us beat with here. and we are ahead a decent enough portion of the time.

daven will become famous soon enough
i check-call or bet-shove this turn. Which I choose is opponent and table image dependent.
