Only shoving combo draws on wet flops vs. nits is just ridiculously passive and specific. Do you use hands with worse equity as all-in bluffs? Why?
The only real concern is that they could have Ahxh, which makes me prefer shoving with spades, but shoving this should be fine. I'd rather check a flush draw like Kh8h or Ax flush draws with low kickers which cooler more hands on heart rivers.
I just posted in another thread about a spot that I would shove a combo draw if you wanna check out my reasoning in a spot I would use it.
Yes we realize all the equity but it comes at the price of all in. So we aren't gaining anything in the way of realization with a shove.
Yes I use lower equity hands to bluff but those hands will have better blockers. Combo draws always block cards we want villians to have. They really aren't good bluffs on most boards vs most ranges. There are spots where they are good this just isn't one of them
Also the K8 fd you would check actually has better blockers and is one I'd be much more inclined to bluff with (in this hand I still wouldn't but it's closer and is a better bluff imo, blocking AK and not blocking the higher straight draw) also I totally agree we should be checking all weaker Ax fds that aren't A9
