Hero CO with J♣T♣

The math

GTO answer: Call

Open-ended straight draw with a backdoor flush against UTG's c-bet in a multi-way pot with the BB still behind. Eight clean outs to the nuts, plus backdoors. Raising blows up the pot out of position with a draw and folds out worse hands you have equity against. Calling for 5bb to win a 18bb pot with 32% equity is a clear price, and you retain implied odds when you hit. BB closing the action behind is a small negative but does not change the call.
