villain is 18/14, no history. fwiw his raise was nearly instant.

Re: 1/2 top two monotone board
 

Could we call and bet/fold turn or is that too transparent? Well what is this guys range for calling on the button. 44/sc for a flush/ what would he do with AxQh, I'im guessing he'd three bet pf or fold it. So I guess this looks like a fold but that seems so freakin weak. I'll defer to other posters

Re: 1/2 top two monotone board
 

Judging by the size of his raise and his reactiontime, i think he has a flush like never here. The only reasonable hand he can have here, that beats us is 44, but i think his range also includes lower PPs with a heart and maybe AxQh, AxJh. He knows he has alot FE here against your opening/cbetting-range on this scary board. I think he most likely has a bluff/semibluff here, thus i'd stick it in here.

Re: 1/2 top two monotone board
 

I agree with the above post. I wouldn't even consider a fold here, just shove it in.

AA and KK would have reraised preflop, and 44 is a small possibility. Even if he does have that or the flush, you have four clean outs to fill up.

But wouldn't this play make very much more sense when the board was only twotone, so his draw-fake would be more believable?

This is often a flopped flush.
