Hmm I don't completely understand the concept here. Under what conditions do you push with a jack high flush draw on the flop?

First of all he has a gutshot as well. That's twelve outs, one of which (the nine of hearts) is to the nuts.

Since you have twelve outs, you are basically a coinflip against any hand except a set and a nut draw. You won't fold out a set, so if someone has a set then that just sucks.

But you CAN fold out a nut draw with a push. The idea is either to take it down on the flop with a push, or to get into a coinflip with something like TPTK. Since there is dead money in the pot and a push has a lot of fold equity, a check/raise all-in is the best option. If someone calls, it's probably a coinflip and you just live with the results.
