Default $11 HU Push w/ Bottom Pair + Nut Flush Draw?

Poker Room skin
No-Limit Holdem Tournament
Blinds: t25/t50
10 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: t1635
UTG+1: t1910
UTG+2: t510
MP1: t1440
MP2: t1080
MP3: t2325
CO: t2230
Button: t1700
Hero: t1090
BB: t1080

Pre-flop: (10 players) Hero is SB with 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
5 folds, MP3 calls, 2 folds, Hero calls, BB checks.

MP3 open-limps. I put him on a mid-PP or some paint.

Flop: 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (t150, 3 players)
Hero checks, BB checks, <font color="#cc0000">MP3 bets t90</font>, Hero calls, BB folds.

Now I put MP3 on a pair of kings or queens. I don't think I can raise here since I don't have enough pot equity. Is there possibly another (non-mathematical) reason to raise here that I'm missing?

Turn: 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (t330, 2 players)
Hero checks, <font color="#cc0000">MP3 bets t150</font>, Hero ??

Now I figure to have 14 outs w/ BPR+NFD.
Should I have led out here?
Should I call (risking not getting paid off if I catch my flush), or push (since a typical 3x raise would be ~1/2 of my stack)?

call again...with only 1 card to come, youre getting your odds but dont have a whole lot of FE if he has TP here. youre not in trouble if you call and miss, but i think your hand has enough value that a call is ok....if you wanted to be aggressive you couldve put MP3 to a decision on the flop though...

Flop: Yeah, you could raise, it's called a semi bluff, but doing it here would be moronic. It simply puts the action back to him and gives him another chance to bet you off your draw.

Turn: Raising is out of the question, but calling is okay as long as you think you get paid off a decent amount of the time.
