Re: wrong spot to gamble??
From a maths point of view this is a no-brainer. You have to call t940 in a pot worth t1375, so your're getting 1.4 to 1 on your call. He, on the other hand is a 2:1 dog to hit his flush. You got your money in as a favorite and lost.
On the other hand, I hate calling other players all-in bets, and I loathe putting all my chips behind top pair this early in a tournament. 55 or 22, while unlikely, do not seem out of the question if he is afraid of the flush, rather than drawing to it. (In the early stages when fish are abundant, and there are a number of people in the pot, I will sometimes overbet a flopped set in hope that someone else has caught a piece and will look me up.)
If I've already doubled up, I might lay this down. But depending on my mood I might also call. No wrong answer, I don't think.
