Not sure but my guess would be because A)even if he just has a 4card FD its still better then yours and he has alot of equity B) Raising turns your hand face up since your never raising with worse then a flush into that board and C)When we are behind, which should be a fair amount of the time were drawing dead so keeping the pot small is good.Frank is a red pro. Why not raise 6th?

Edit: oops. Thought hero had the flush on 6th.
I'll take a shot - because you're almost certainly chopping at that point and you won't fold him off of anything?
I'm not sure how aggressive Frank is, and if he'll fire 4th & 5th with a hand like 4x5h_Ah Jh Kh, but given how poorly his opponent's boards are developing, it wouldn't be terrible to just keep bangin' away with a pretty wide range.What hands can you eliminate from their ranges based on the action (besides QQQ for example)?
if Villain has a full house it is impossible for him to make a low
