MP looks a lot to me like a donk calling with improper odds on a heart draw. I might check this to induce a bluff.

He'll probably call with 1 pair atleast 300, probably 400-500.

He has 1065 left, so we probably want to bet under 532.5 (half his stack). I think betting 350 again is close enough to that number and may provoke a push from a hand we beat since it looks donkish.

I was pretty sure I was ahead here but I didnt want to look funny betting away half my stack. However, I bet 425 and he folded. Thanks for the insight, I just wanted to make sure I bet correctly.
