He has 9 outs (for his flush) unless you have 1 or 2. So, if you have no clubs he has 9 outs or (9x4)-(9-8)= 35% (Thanks Dan Harrington [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] ) to make his flush. So all you need are the correct pot odds to call his all-in.

If you are ahead, you don't need to consider pot odds because worst pot odds you can be offered is 1:1 and when ahead, you call.

Also, villain can win by pairing his kicker and having it hold up so he has almost 3 more outs as well as the 9. But that wouldn't matter becaue you'd still be ahead and could call any size bet that you bankroll could handle.

I realize I'm nitpicking here, but just being ahead doesn't mean you should call at 1:1. Something like KQ [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] is a big favorite against 22 on a T [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]T [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] flop, even though the pair of dueces is currently winning the hand.

I realize what you are saying but in your case, even though 22 would win if no more cards came, I consider KQ ahead.
