Basic AK question

Situation we all face i need some feedback...
NL

Raise in middle position with AK, 1 caller, A-rag-rag flop but with 2 suited cards. I bet about pot, get called, and the turn comes with a 3rd suited card. Now what? We obviouly think theres a good chance he hit his flush, do I push? Check call? Check fold?

The way I see it, these are your viable options:

bet/push
bet/call
bet/fold
check/fold
check/call
check/raise

with more info on the opponent some start to look better than others

i also think are suits make a difference in this situation. if i have the K high draw i may want to c/c. if i dont have a re draw i may want to bet/fold. obviously none of this can be said without a read...

Why is it obvious he hit a flush? Is AQ and AJ not in villain's range? Are there straight possibilities? Was the villain in either the sb or bb? Are there monsters under your bed?

Until we know the answers to these questions it is pointless to generalize.

Although I agree with 42 that it's pointless to generalize, I will say this:

Set this hand aside for a moment. If you think there is a very good chance that your opponent has just drawn out on you, why in hell would you push?
