Aggressive barreling with a monster draw is standard, and calling the shove is a mandatory math-driven decision given our equity.
Betting is preferred to realize equity and put pressure on CO's marginal pairs. While we have a monster draw, our sizing could be more efficient.
Note: Sizing is slightly too large; a 33% pot bet is more efficient on this connected board to maintain range pressure.
The Queen is a strong card for our 3-bet range (AQ, KQ), and we must continue barreling with our high-equity draw. We have roughly 35% equity against Villain's continuing range.
This is a pure math call. We have too much equity to ever fold the nut flush draw plus a gutshot when getting these excellent price odds. **Math:** We need roughly 23% equity to call. With 12 clean outs to the nuts or near-nuts (9 hearts and 3 non-heart nines), we have approximately 26% equity against even a very strong range. **Ranges:** Villain's shove represents sets (TT, 88, 77), straights (J9s, 96s), or two-pairs (QTs). Even against this value-heavy range, our combo draw retains enough equity to make the call profitable. --- > **Takeaway:** Never fold a nut flush draw facing a shove when the pot odds are better than 3:1 and you have additional straight outs.
