Do we bet here? Or risk this small pot by giving a free card so that we can potentially win more?

check.

no reason not to slowplay. unless another heart comes you shouldnt worry about what others have.

you dont have the nuts, which is annoying, but third nut flush in a three flush board is probably best right now. check it and look for the pair of aces or small two pair in the blinds to bet out on the turn (or river). if it gets that far and its checked round still, you have to assume you wont get paid, so bet out 200 to make it look like a bluff. you never know.
