We are at level 15 of a KO Tournament in the current Micro Series on Pokerstars France. I have a Tight image on this table after 60 hands and Villain has played 44% VP and 5% PFR. my thoughts are

1) I have no hand just a nut flush draw but maybe my overs are live 

2) I don't put him on a big pair preflop. He may have a small to medium pair and maybe hit a set (my equity is 44% against these hands) or he may have suited connectors T9 to 65 and have a straigh or two pair (my equity is 36% against these hands)

3) I think it is unlikely that he has flopped a flush and if he has i only have 7 outs twice (28% equity)

4) I don't want to play the rest of this hand OOP and i am putting him to a decision for his tournament life

Given that i missed the flop and started the hand with 50 BB is this a type of situation that is worth getting involved in? Is my check-raise clearly indicating a flush draw?

I am aware that I act very quickly on my decisions at the table and I only really understood the equity issues after working it through on poker stove. How would you guys handle this scenario? I think the poker stove equities are correct but i am only just starting to use the software. any advice would be great…good luck at the tables
