I don't think that you much FE but it's getting late for you as your M drops below 10 if you fold here. If the King and flush draw are live then you're basically 50-50 so I play it the same.

Well if I'm leading this flop, it's with the intention to 4 bet all in so, this seems fine. I think he almost always has a big J here, but you just have to hope it's not KJ

No one else is worried about J 9? I don't think we have any pair outs here about half the time, since he probably raises A J pre, so his most likely holding is K J or J 9, or Q J or J 10. And he isn't going to put you on a big hand since you showed weakness in the Big Betty.

This play is way too aggressive for me, especially for your tournament life. I never like getting all my money in as a 2 to 1 dog, (or maybe slightly better than that if a K is in fact an out, but we can't count on that)

His raise is barely a minraise, so he has given us proper odds to chase anyways. Sometimes the straightforward play is the correct play, and in this case I think it is.
