I have been running into some spots in tournaments where I will have a very strong draw on the flop like combo draw or Flush+Overcards and am faced with an all-in or fold situation. I have called everytime (and lost), but I am wondering if this is the correct option.
I have checked my equity in these spots at the time of the All-in, and in everyone of the last 3 cases I have been slightly ahead with my equity being 51%-55%.
Is it worth it to risk the tournament life, over this coin-flip situation, or fold and look for a better spot. My hand in the picture, I have short-stack and this seemed like a good spot to get it in, but what about if my stack was much deeper? This villain had 9h2h and hit a back door flush. I had 51.8% equity on the flop.
