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%.
