poker question

[john111_x]

ok, guy raises,
i have 10 jack suited,
board shows 8 9 9, one of these was my suit,
guy bets pretty big,
i call,
then 4 of my suit comes
so now i have straight and flush draws going, so tons of outs but i haven't made my hand at all, not even a pair
guy pushes all in:
do i call? i did, he had a pair of fives,
he won the hand with his 55.
i had so many outs i felt like i had to call, what do they call this in poker, and is it stupid to call in this situation?

cash game or tourney?

how many chips did you both have?

what read do you have on him?

lots of questions that are completely dependent on your read and the situation. sometimes i call, sometimes i fold, sometimes i push before he gets a chance to...

completely depends on stacks and pot size

I would say calling the big bet on the flop probably wasnt a good idea. Whe he made the bet you need to decide to push the action or fold. Calling gives him a pretty decent idea of what you were chasing/drawing at.

He bets on flop and you push very little shot he has of calling.

Of course I have stated the above with very little information
