33 3 combo
5d6d 1 combo
XdXd 90 combos
You are ahead with at least 27 combinations (let's assume that most XdXd are unlikely) and behind with 10. With 1.7 : 1 pot odds, it looks like a shove. If you think she could have XdXd, it's a no brainer. Can you correct my reasoning?
She's not equally likely to have each of those combos. For instance, she's less likely to take this line when she has KQ than when she has 33 or 44, so if we simply count up the number of possible combos for each, we're assigning too much probability to KQ and not enough to 33/44. (Also, there are 6 combos of KK, not 9.) imo though, and as wj94 said early on itt, there are enough possible combos of AQ & KK in her range to make getting stacks in +EV.
