Default 2/4 Hand, A/K flop top pair and flush draw

I just wanted get everyone's opinion on this one. AZK, let me know if this deserves attention in the small stakes section.

Party 2/4 10 handed.

Hero (~300)is dealt A/K off on the button. Villain is BB with ~500. Sat down for 2 orbits, villain has played few hands and I have no read.

All fold to hero, I make it 16. SB folds and BB calls.

Flop is K/T/x all diamonds. I have Ad/Ks. BB cks, Hero bets 18 into 38 pot, Villain ck raises to 50... Hero?

With TPTK and a flush draw, do you think that just calling is too weak? If I call, and the turn bricks, what do I do then? Is pushing far too donkie?

I'm guessing he saw your 18 bet as weakness, so I like a value bet here. Since you are not afraid to get all your chips in the middle, it doesn't matter who puts them in first. The problem is that if your flush hits on the turn, you will lose all action because it will be pretty obvious what you have. I like reopening the betting by a small raise to 100 here. If they opt to call, you simply sweeten the pot if it hits on the turn. If he reraises you, I would not hesitate to get all the money in there.

Perhaps it's too aggressive, but I open-push on the turn as a semibluff if the diamond misses.

There's not much you can do if he actually flopped the flush or hit a set of 10s. Even if he did, you still have at worst a 31% chance of hitting. If he is loose enough to have K-10 it's basically a race.
