This would be the standard line if I also held AK, AA, QQ, JJ, or TT, right?

Even with the nut flush draw, it would still be better to check behind on the turn since a made flush is not folding, they may check/raise all-in, and if they already have a flush, then I am drawing to only 7 outs.

[/ QUOTE ] This depends on if you have a redraw or not. If you have the A /images/graemlins/heart.gif it's probably better to check, whereas if you have no hearts it's better to bet and fold to a raise.

about exactly how i'd play it....hard to put him on anything but a flush draw here.

Exactly. With AK/AA with the A/images/graemlins/heart.gif you are in a situation where you are either somewhat behind or pretty far ahead, so there's no harm in checking behind because you can (a) get value from weaker hands on the river and (b) win a huge pot if you do catch up against a made flush. With no hearts, you are either (a) dead or (b) slightly ahead so you have to bet to protect.
