Default wrong spot to gamble??

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t30 (8 handed) converter

BB (t3385)
UTG (t810)
UTG+1 (t1850)
MP1 (t1305)
MP2 (t1675)
CO (t1080)
Hero (t2155)
SB (t965)

Preflop: Hero is Button with J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
UTG folds, UTG+1 folds, MP1 folds, MP2 folds, CO calls t30, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t140</font>, SB folds, BB calls t110, CO calls t110.

<font color="green">I usually will not raise this preflop but the table was fairly tight and I thought I'd be able to get away from the hand if heat came. </font>

Flop: (t435) J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">CO bets t940 (All-In)</font>, Hero calls t940, BB folds.

<font color="green"> I don't have CO on QQ, KK, or AA, or a set. Can I call this in this situation? It would be very nice to get his chips but if he beats me I go from penthouse to outhouse.</font>

Turn: (t2315) 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font>

River: (t2315) 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font>

Final Pot: t2315



Results in white below: <font color="#FFFFFF">
CO has 7h Ah (flush, ace high).
Hero has Jd As (one pair, jacks).
Outcome: CO wins t2315. </font>

<font color="green">I showed the results because I don't really care. The question is more about this type of situation. How much of a favourite do you think you'd have to be to call in this situation? If I knew he was on that flush draw I was a 62/38 favourite. I would think that should warrant a call but I'm not sure. If I win I have over 3,000 but if I lose I have about 1,000. I think the difference between 1,000 and 2,000 is alot bigger than the difference between 2,000 and 3,000. Do you agree? Is it worth the risk? </font>
