you are only going to be called by a hand that has you beat

If you want to pursue interest in this pot, you could try to bet 2/3rd of the pot
- if somebody push, they might be on a draw, but this early in the tournament you can still fold happily. They might also have a better made hand
- if somebody calls, check the turn. In my experience a flush draw will always check here, and you will now know what you're up against, if the flush comes, check fold, if not, check call to give him a chance to bluff.

That's my line anyway, other possibility: a check raise on the flop also, and if you get a free turn, bet 2/3rd of the pot and all the flush draws will get an horrible price, you will usually pick it right here

Either way your push was -EV. A lot. Basically an all-in bluff level 1...

Without the Ace of hearts, this is about as bad a flop as you can get. You still have well over 1000 chips at this point. There is no poker law that says you must play your AA to the river.
