Best play: Call
Why
JTss flopped into a flush draw plus open-ender on the turn, so calling the polarized overbet keeps BB's many bluffs in and realizes the huge equity, whereas jamming folds out the worse hands you dominate.
Key idea
Facing a polarized overbet with a big combo draw, calling realizes equity and keeps villain's bluffs in rather than jamming and folding out worse.
