It's always best to try so see a freebie. But if you felt like you could push this player around or you knew he was a gambler than this move would pay off. I guess it just depends on how well you know the players that you are up against.

Over betting especially shoving when not really a short stack only puts doubt in the villains mind about your storyline. Got hurt a number of times :(

I think its a bad move becouse you have a huge stack.. If you had a short stack thats fine, but with a huge stack there is no need to risk all your chips and a possible tournament win. Next time remember it

It is just like nomadnative said on this thread https://www.cardschat.com/forum/learning-poker-57/a-2-5-suited-how-strong-213546/
The only real value this hand has is the flush draw. Which only gives you about 3% equity pre-flop. A vs. A will be dominated, any other like gapped cards have more straights they can hit, and the chance of flopping two pair is the same as any one opponent without a pair. Pre-flop equity sucks and reverse implied odds if you hit a pair of aces sucks.

You will make a flush by the river only once out of 16 times!!! So...whatever you are calling, you have to make "15 x the call" just to break even. This usually only possible against multiple players or a hyper aggressive with a deep stack. Also; you will probably flop the draw, not the flush, so calling more than a 1/3 pot size bet without implied odds is a losing play. This is the situation you will most likely face!
That is pure and sad reality! I know that suited hands look pretty, but the fact that they are suited, only makes them 2% better.
