On the other hand, if you wait until a non-club turn to put the rest of your money in...

This can't be better than pushing the flop. If we know he's on the flush draw then it's most +EV to push the flop right? So if he's got either a set, two pair, or a flush draw then it still has to be more +EV to push the flop!

I vote fold to the check-raise anyway.

With one card to come, the flush draw goes WAY down in value, than with two. Given that after he makes it 50, there is 100 left to bet, if hero does push, then villain is correct to call with a flush draw and pretty much any other hand that can beat hero.
Thus, by pushing we are not really inducing a mistake. If we wait for the turn, then we can save the rest if a [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] falls and villain pushes, and we can call all-in/push-if-checked-to, if the turn is a non-club, then we are often a big favourite against the flush draw/pair+flush-draw combos.
