Regarding the push on the flop, as opposed to a pot-sized bet:

You are forgetting stacks when you think like that. Look at how the hand was played: OK, of course you cut his odds, but he still called you, and then YOU made a bad call, because you figured the pot is too big, he might not have the NUT-flush, etc. With stacks that short, a pot sized bet that leaves you with almost no room to manouver, is worse than a simple push. And again: most chances your opponent will call another bet on the turn, however - if YOU are willing to call HIS bet on the turn once the diamond hits (and this is exactly what you did), you should definitely push to begin with, on the flop.

With much deeper stacks, this hand could be played very differently. However, this is not the case in Party's low-limit SNGs (and in the higher as well).
