Why
The 2♠ turn brings a second spade on Q♠9♦4♣|2♠, putting a live flush draw on board while the BB's range stays wide. With J♠T♠ you hold a huge combo draw — an open-ended straight draw (any K or 8 makes the straight) plus the second-nut spade flush draw — but no made pair, so you're equity-rich but showdown-poor. Calling continues with this premium draw at a price your equity easily justifies, keeping the BB's bluffs in and your range disguised; jamming as a raise is fine too, but flatting realizes the draw cheaply in position, which is why call is the baseline.
Key idea
A combo draw with straight and flush outs has the equity to continue cheaply in position — call to realize it and stay disguised.
Common mistake
Folding a fifteen-out combo draw to a single turn bet leaves far too much equity and implied value on the table.
