How's my line? There was a chance big stack was limping a monster, but I felt a preflop raise was warranted. Should I have bet more? I was trying to look weak and have big stack reraise me. Any tips on extracting the most chips is welcome.

Also, should I be prepared to lost all my chips to a higher flush?

The check-call on the turn seems out of place to me. I would either bet out or C/R there. I'm no expert or anything, but Betting out, then check/calling, then betting out on the river seems like a strange line to me.

Well there is the danger of him having Ac and getting another club, but other than that, I'd like him to catch something, so that he will test my weak line here. I felt that if he caught something on the river he'd probably reraise me or call me, whereas he might fold to a river reraise.
