Chaoslord has explained the flopcheck.

yes but poorly. i agree sometimes you should check behind your flush draws to disguise your hand when you hit the flush.

and sometimes you should check behind sets to slowplay.

but this hand falls into neither category - it's not a bare flush draw, there's much more value in it and disguised outs should he happen to have a decent hand. and it isn't strong enough to "slowplay" like a set because you can't go nuts when you don't improve.

with those two things in mind, i'd be happy never checking this sort of hand in a heads up match. i don't think i'd actually be giving anything up.

Exactly,
your hand is so strong on the flop, but also extremely vulnerable if you don't bet (you lose a lot of equity if he hits a pair on the turn, but with your combo draw on the flop you can always get it in here and never be a huge dog). And it's not as if by betting he puts you squarely on a combo draw.
Also as played just get it in here...
