If I'm responsible for 33% of the pot, do I still bet my "even" pot equity? Plus, if I'm heads up, do I tend to lay back?

Whoa. 34.5% > 33%. This is not even. I'd push that edge all day, every day. I hear casinos are doing well pushing edges of that magnitude.

If you're heads up in an empty pot, you fold if the only way you will win is hitting the flush. Against two opponents, if you were certain you had a 34.5% chance of winning the hand (flush will win for you), you raise. Any more than that, raise until the cows come home. Granted, that's a big assumption to make. The size of the pot always comes into play here...but if you're assuming an "empty" pot: you fold heads up, you raise anything else. This is assuming you're playing Limit HE.
