Given he's only got 65, I would just move in now. He might feel priced in and call, or he might just let a random flush go (which is fine). If you just call and open push a blank turn, I think he'll fold a draw often.

He will never fold a flush.

Villain is +EV to call a flop push at this point if he is on a flush draw.

I haven't run the #'s, but I think at this point calling and pushing a blank turn (with him folding to the push) is more +EV than getting it in here.

I think the best play here is to call flop and get it in on a blank turn. If the turn comes a heart, then it comes down to a read whether he is drawing.

If he were a little deeper, we could push flop and make this a tougher decision for him.

That's fine if we're guaranteed villain will call it off on a blank turn. The thing is he'll fold to a huge turn bet unimproved with only one card to come a lot of the time.

Just because it's +EV for him to call doesn't mean it's not +EV for us, too.

If the turn blanks and he folds to a push, we just let him save his stack. If the turn flushes and we fold, we just let him draw out on us for free.

I'm not sure the extra EV made getting it in now would be worth the variance. Me no like variance.
