Default $11s Flopped straight on monotone board

I've come to hate spots like this. At the time I put villain on a diamond (probably the A) with probably a pair as well, figuring if he had the flush already, he wouldn't push. It seems I often lose in these spots, but I absolutely have to push, right?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t50 (6 handed) Hand History converter Courtesy of PokerZion.com

SB (t1660)
BB (t1925)
UTG (t1495)
MP (t5585)
Hero (t2500)
Button (t335)

Preflop: Hero is CO with A[[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]], Q[[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]].
UTG calls t50, 1 fold, Hero raises to t200, 2 folds, BB calls t150, UTG calls t150.

Flop: (t625) K[[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]], J[[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]], T[[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]] (3 players)
BB checks, UTG bets t1295 (All-In), Hero raises to t2300, BB folds.

you have enough chips to let this go, but your either pushing or folding, never calling

Right, I do have enough chips to let this go, but if I'm confident in my read that I'm a 60/40 favorite (my read was right, but that's not the point) then I can't pass up this opportunity, can I?

Put it this way... if villain turned his hand up and showed Ad9c, would you push?

It looks a lot more like a combo draw, AK afraid of the diamonds, AdKx or a set than a made flush. It could be a baby made flush that knows this flop looks good to a preflop raiser who might have a high diamond to draw with.

You have zero equity against a made flush and you're ~ 63% favourite over anything else. You need about 45% equity to be +$EV. If he has a made flush 20% of the time, you have around 50% equity. Push.

I would just limp behind PF, but sometimes I raise to t175

I don`t think we can fold here..This is most likely a flushdraw, set or 2 pair

Folding this is like burning money.
