First of all, this is not what people typically call a "stop and go." Hero is slowplaying, but for a very specific reason. Opponent is likely on a flush draw, and hero is unlikely to be outdrawn by anything else. When you have position heads up in this kind of situation and you know that the opponent is very likely to bet the turn no matter what, it's better to give up a small bet on the flop in favor of raising the turn and extracting an extra BB when the fourth club doesn't come. You are essentially trading a small edge for a much larger edge because your pot equity is significantly increased when that fourth club doesn't turn.

Well said sir. My thinking was the check raise had to mean at least a flush draw and an overcard. It could also mean a baby flush.

I could reevaluate if a flush came or I filled up, and by giving up the lead I could win an extra BB because an aggressive opponent will semibluff there trying to steal the pot out of position.
