PF: Getting good odds to call, especially when I could have the best hand.

F: I've got a gutshot though some of my outs might be useless so I can only count 3/3.5 outs but if the turn is a spade then I can re-draw to the second nuts. I have position so I assume that I'll be able to extract a lot of value if I make my nut straight, so I think I have good enough implied odds to call.
T: I make the nut straight but a flush is now possible, though I have a re-draw to the second nuts. I have a strong hand but it is second best to any flush. My hand is only vulnerable to KsX which is capable of being in both players ranges, so a bet would protect my hand against this. I could bet to maximise value from top pair and two-pair hands and also to gain value from JsX or 9sX holdings which are drawing dead to me.
Since no-one has showed any strength then I choose to bet, however, I am faced with a jam. I don't think CO would do this without a flush since he most likely would have bet a more vulnerable hand before now. I have roughly 70BB to call and there is roughly 176BB in the pot so I have pot odds of 2.5 to 1, meaning I don't have the required pot odds to draw to my second nut flush. Therefore, Hero must find a fold here.
