100NL, flush draw in position on LAG and a short-stacked real-hand

[rsk_anlst_13]

No read on MP1, MP3 is playing every hand and pot-sized continuations seem standard for him. I know I can't fold to the raise once I call the 12, but I am curious if anyone thinks pushing the flop is a better option.

Pushing the flop would be bad I think unless you like shoveling money into dry side pots against crazy unpredictable retards with only a flush draw

[rsk_anlst_13]

pushing the flop instead of calling the 12 wouldn't be shoveling into a dry side pot, correct?

i guess without a read on MP1 it's really tough to say whether he's capable of folding Q's - 9's, i guess what i'm really looking for is what types of situations 100 &amp; 200 NL regs push flush/OES draws (if any at all). i'm a nit by nature (see username) and looking for the right spots to open up my game a bit at these levels. any comments are appreciated.
