Why
The 9♦ turn on T♠7♣2♣ completes nothing but keeps the board wet, with the flush and straight draws still live. Your A♣Q♣ holds the nut-flush draw (A♣Q♣ plus 7♣2♣ on board) backed up by a gutshot (a J makes Q‑J‑T‑9) and ace-high — a strong drawing hand. Facing the BB's turn bet, calling is correct: you have a huge price-justified draw to the nuts, you keep the BB's bluffs in, and position lets you realize this equity cheaply without bloating the pot as a raise would.
Key idea
A nut-flush draw plus a gutshot is best played as a call in position when the price is good — peel and realize.
Common mistake
Blasting a raise with the bare draw and getting blown off equity or facing a 3‑bet, when calling realizes the same outs far cheaper.
