Re: $1k hand
I would call most of the time. Unless my opponent is an uber-rock, I am not laying down the nut straight in fear of a backdoor flush when getting 475:175 on my money. This is a very good spot for villain to bluff, so without a read that he always bets big when bluffing and small when holding the nuts, I am inclined to pay him off if he backdoored a flush. I can't imagine anyone calling a raise without a flush, so I don't see much value in raising. A big raise might get a weak player to lay down a small flush or buy half the pot from another broadway, but this is not a good spot for a bluff-raise IMO, as there is a very good chance that you have the best hand.
