I've always thought as the big stack it was correct to push the flop with a 4 flush vs a small stack, as you still have outs to make a flush and adding the % your opp will fold makes it +EV. Here villian just isnt folding. I think its played fine.

If I limp in, I really want to check behind on this flop.

I like this. Betting the flop has very little chance of making everyone fold, without betting a much larger amount.

it's the stars 100rebuy, so I'll take down the flop a lot of the time here anyway.

I don't understand why you feel obligated to continue after the checkraise? You have a likely over + flushdraw, is that worth it?

Last to act, I just don't mind taking the free card here. If there was any paint on the flop I would be more entitled to bet to try and represent that card where a mid to small pair is more likely to fold to your semibluff. On this flop its just more likely you are betting your flush draw where i don't want to have to call with just my draw and only 1 overcard to the board. At this point you have very little invested so I don't mind keeping it that way if i don't improve.
