It's called drawing to bluff outs. If you figure he will fold everything less than a set or AK with the A(or K if A is on board) of the flush suit. It does sometimes become a profitable play. You must also remember you do still have 2 live outs. This is a play you can make against a better, but sometimes overly tight player.
