Re: Protecting against flushes
You give him odds to call on the flop with any bet, if and only if he gets to see BOTH cards.
You give him infinite odds on the flop if you check.
And so you must bet the flop--about 2/3rds and then bet any non club turn an amount that gives him bad odds to call. Pushing the turn is only good imho if you think he will call it. Otherwise bet an amount on the turn that you think he will call but that gives him the wrong odds to do so.
His call on the turn will only be correct if he calculates that the implied odds are there and that you will pay him off. That is you have enough in your stack to make his call correct if he hits his hand AND knows that you will pay him off.
