Default 25nl straight vs possible flush, how to play against shortstack?

No real reads on villian, just that hes short in chips...
I know i shouldnt have checked the flop, i wasnt paying attention to the 2 flush cards on the board, but what do you put this guy on? does he hit the flush?

Even on a rainbow board you still have to bet the flop. The last thing you want is a jack or ace or heart popping up on the turn and killing your hand. If he isnt calling a bet on that board then there is almost no turn cards that are going to change that. You have a big hand, get the moneys in. The fact that he is shortstacked just makes it even more likely is he going to get his money in too.

He could see your flop check as weakness and raise with a 2pair sort of hand thinking that your stealing or on a draw.With him being short stacked i'd put him all in. I think you're good here more often than not.
