Even if you're up against exactly KJx, AA, QQ, TT you're still drawing to a flush (and a boat vs KJ) with an equity of 27%.

You'll need 44% for a profitable call though so let's see what that looks like with a linear range. If we include 33, and A3s, and QTx,  AcTc has 44% equity. Is it likely this player overbet shoves that range? I don't know you tell me.

Against a competent player balancing KJ with some bluffs I guess most bluffs are KcXc for the king blocker and the flush draw. With AcTc we dominate that flush draw, and unblock the Kc. Pretty much bluff catching with some equity behind if we're up against the nuts. Calling becomes profitable if we can realistically assign 6 bluffs if they're only shoving KJ and bluffs. Can we expect villain to play this range? I don't know you tell me.

In any case, AcTc might be the best "bluff catcher" you're ever going to have in this situation and I'm never folding against anyone decently competent. Loose passive recreational players or tight passive recreational players are a little bit of a different story so if you know they're only pushing sets+ you can make an exploitative fold.
