it doesnt matter if you do or do not get paid off in this particular situation... dont you realize that the only way you will get "paid off" when you push the flop is if he has a flush or set and you suck out? the heart outs are irrelevant in this hand unless villain is semibluffing with a worse heart (say 9xKh) and the Ah serves as protection for us (its way better obviously to hold Ah9 in our situation than As9x or whatever)

calling isnt about getting paid, it's about considering you have the best hand and letting him continue to put money in.

there's also nothing wrong with calling and check/folding a blank turn, against some types of players.

with that said, i still fold. just trying to reinforce the argument that calling is better than shoving.
