Generally, I'm not a big advocate of shoving combo draws in spots where I don't think there's much if any fe.

However, with the dead money in the pot, you're getting like 2.5/1 on a shove here if called by button(230 to win 570ish? I think??). If he flips up his cards and shows you a set a shove is +ev. Calling has less variance and is fine as well, but realize you're doing that to minimize your variance, not to maximize ev.

Edit: someone please tell me if I'm thinking incorrectly about the math on this hand?

One thing, just because one play is EV+ doesnt mean another play couldnt be both less variance and more EV+
