A♣4♣ calls almost every time: calling is worth more than raising or moving all in.
The solver plays A♣4♣ along this line to this decision 34.98% of the time; otherwise it acts differently earlier in the hand.

In a 6-max cash game at 100 big blinds, after the big blind calls a 4.1 bb c-bet on a Q♣ 8♣ 3♦ flop and checks the 2♠ turn, it faces a 24 bb bet into 13.7 bb and calls with A♣4♣ 98% of the time, according to a solver answer published free by Poker Skill.
Why A♣4♣ calls the overbet
- A♣4♣ has the nut flush draw (four clubs, with the ace) and a gutshot to a wheel, which a five completes.
- The price: calling 24 bb to win 37.7 bb needs 38.9% equity, and A♣4♣ has 50.8% against the button's bet.
- Calling is worth 6.84 bb, more than raising (6.12 bb) or moving all in (5.87 bb).
- Weaker draws give up: the big blind's other flush draws fold 58% of the time and its gutshots 100%, while its nut flush draws call 97%.

Each cell shows the share of the class's possible combos in the range.
Where the numbers come from
The numbers come from a commercial solver's precomputed solution for a 6-max cash game at 100 big blinds, with a 5% rake capped at 0.6 bb, opens sized by the solver (2.5 bb here) and several bet sizes on each street. The button bets several sizes on each street; this line follows its most-used one on each, 4.1 bb on the flop and 24 bb on the turn. Facing the turn bet, the big blind can fold, call, move all in or raise to 54.85 bb. Two players see the flop. Pots with three or more players aren't covered, and neither are bet sizes outside this solution. Poker Skill read the numbers and wrote the explanation.
