i don't think it's terrible to jam here. we will get it in with probably 40% at worst, which means it will be close to neutral EV given the dead money.

here's our equity against a hastily-compiled, but seemingly reasonable calling range

Board: 9d 8h Jh
Dead:

equity win tie pots won pots tied
Hand 0: 44.556% 44.04% 00.52% 34005 401.00 { Ah9h }
Hand 1: 55.444% 54.92% 00.52% 42413 401.00 { 88+, AJs, KhQh, QTs+, JTs, Th9h, AJo, QTo+, JTo }


"turning our hand into a bluff" isn't really how i'd describe jamming here because we have so damn much equity against villain's calling range. actually, looking at it this way, and bearing in mind we get our pot equity cut in half on ~70% of turn cards, i don't mind just sticking it in here. i'm neutral.
