He is up to tell everything to Tom, even if he knows that his gesture entails being kicked out of the group. . Does this sound natural?
- English (US)
Unnatural
"Up to" is generally used in the phrase "up to something." For instance: "I don't trust him. He's up to something." it refers to suspicious behavior. In your example, I think you mean that he intends or plans to do something. It's not necessarily suspicious.
"Entails" isn't wrong, it just sounds odd. It's very formal, if that makes sense. But you are using it correctly.

Do you mean:
He is determined/intends to tell Tom everything, even though he knows it will result in him being kicked out of the group.

@mvheart Yes, but why not use << be up to>>, as WordReference says ''Be up to'' and '' Have in mnd'' are synonyms.
And second, is ''entail'' wrong in this contest, if yes: why?
Thank you so much.
