Is a shove best here?

edited January 2011 in The Poker Clinic
Opponent is a loose semi regular player, who likes to be in lots of pots and seems to play 'pretty cards' rather than position!   

When he raises my turn bet, what is generally the best line to take? Is a shove optimal - with the finger already on the reload! Is it worth a shove knowing u could well be hoping to get the redraw flush? Is AA still strong enough to go with on paired, flushing board? Does his image make it harder to fold here?

    I agree that shoving is bad, his range is really polarised and we have the Ad so its not like we have to protect against anything, all shoving does is fold out his air. Cawl and c/evaluate every river card.

    If you just had the Ad with no pair I'd like shoving better.
