Playing Ax suited for flush value ???

I'd say no, and its a question of implied odds. with small pairs hitting sets, you can have a very non threatening board, and people with top pair, or over pairs willing to get all there money in drawing very thin. If you can see the flop cheaply, you can ditch your hand if you don't hit your set.

However, with a flush draw, you will likely have to call one or even two more bets drawing to your flush after the flop, and, if you get your flush, the board will scare better players away from the top pair/overpair hands you were preying on earlier.
