Default OESD+Flush draw...do you call?

Been lurking here a while now, first hand post. Appreciate any feedback you care to give. Here it goes...
Within the first couple hands at table, no real reads on villains.

PokerRoom No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (6 handed) converter

SB ($10.55)
BB ($14.55)
UTG ($24.05)
MP ($27.25)
Hero ($24.50)
Button ($20.45)

Preflop: Hero is CO with ,J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] .
UTG calls $0.25, MP calls $0.25, Hero calls $0.25, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, SB raises to $1.65</font>, BB calls $1.40, UTG folds, MP folds, Hero calls $1.40.

Flop: ($5.45) T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
SB bets $8.9 (All-In)</font>, BB calls $8.90, Hero ???.

BB has $4 left...
comments on preflop and flop appreciated.

Push here, BB will call. You have an excellent holding, and a good pot equity edge.

I think SB an overpair or AQ, and BB has a weaker queen and is hoping you will fold.

AQ, Ahxh, AK, anything, really. Thing is, you're comfortably ahead of just about all of his possible hands, except maybe a set, which you're not bad against, either.

actually, my friends and i were discussing this the other day. Top set vs. OESD+FD. set has 10 outs to improve and be unbeatable, OESD+FD has 15 outs to improve, not all of which are clean, and any of which will be worthless if set hits any of his outs. i guess set is probably well ahead.

anyway, push confidently in this case.

How clean my outs were was my biggest concern. Seemed that with this board one or either of my draws could be suckers. Seeing monsters??

You have a 42% chance to win this hand, so a call is justified. Specifically, there is a 42% chance that you will make your straight or flush. Note that you could make your flush but someone else can fill up and beat you, or have a higher flush. Ditto for the straight: someone could fill up. On the other hand, you could hit two running cards to get an overset. These about average out (tho not exactly), so I'd say 42% is close enough.

With a greater than 33% chance to win, you can call a pot-sized bet (assuming no further betting). If someone bets pot and someone else calls, it's an easy call. Since BB only has $4 behind, it's an easy push.

You have 15 outs (assuming your str8 draw is to the nuts, and the flush will be good). That's about 2:1 for the next card. If there's going to be further betting, you can call a pot bet even if there's no other callers.

It doesn't matter that you're behind now. Hold'em is played with 7 cards.

to me, the $9 cold call from BB means one of two things:
-he has a monster like a set and he's being greedy
-he has a draw.

i still think this is a definite push in NL25.

i'm not sure that's a true statement.

i think the odds are greater than that.

You would have three-of-a-kind and villain who had a set would now have a full house.
