I push as this is very seldom a made flush and very often some random AQ / KQ or any hand with Ah.

as for me, i better fold at this blinds level.
If opp has AhQ, for example, he has 14 outs of 45 remaining cards. If he had smth like Q Xh, it's 11 outs.
I don't wont to flip coin at this level. If u r good at this buyin u will have many opportunities in future to steal blinds, to squeeze pot, to bluff..no coinflip at M = 25

For me it is easy fold. He has one flush card about 60% of the time, and on this case you are about 70-30, i will not play even if it is like this. Actually I saw such action mostly with 1 flush card + pair with board... Don't be addicted to your kings/aces
