What kind of a line do you take with what is almost certainly the best hand, but vulnerable?

Clearly I wanted to check-raise the turn.

Also, at 19:1 this is ok preflop right? I do have to be worried about bigger hearts, but thats a little weak-tight.

Preflop is standard. Bet the flop. You aren't going to protect this hand, but you'll win VERY often, so bet for value. This is a value betting situation.

I agree bet the flop. If you do check, raise when it comes back to you.

Just bet out the turn.

Nice flop.

From the SB I play any two suited cards, when there are more than 3 others in the pot. I would probably have raise that flop when it got back to me and then lead the turn. The problem with you not raising the turn is if a heart comes on the turn then anyone who doesn't have a big heart is going to fold. I can't blame you for trying to checkraise the turn, with that many in the pot I would think that someone would bet out. I like your 3 bet on the river.

Cheers,
