You're a huge favourite, just jam it in. Way too many scare cards to either kill your action or kill your hand on the turn.

If you're gonna get it in, now's the time to do it. Scare cards, complicated turn decisions, villains who are on a draw over-estimate their equity, ect.

Yeah, get in now. A lot of the time you'll see the Ace of suit doing this thinking that the other 3 Aces are outs. Even if he has the flush your equity in the pot is still good.

I agree with everyone else. Chances are you are way ahead.
Shove, as he'll have an overpair that's trying to chase you off the flush draw more often than he'll have the flush.

Well we got it all in on the flop and his AQs for the made flush held up as I couldn't fill up. Third time this has happened to me this week was making me wonder whether getting it in on the flop was the correct move or not.

The only time I lay this down is if I have a note like this:

Player Note: Plays suited trash (Q4s, T3s) through a PFR, chases flush.

If they get angry on a flop like this, I could fold a set. And maybe some of the biggest nits, I could fold a set to. Otherwise, I'm stackin'. This could easily be an overpair with a spade.
