i have no idea what you are doing here. if you think you are behind, as the turn check indicates, why do you 3bet the flop?

I think he thinks he is behind more than half the time, but not enough that he should fold. The turn 3 bet gives information, folds buttons overcards, and often allows him to get to sd cheaper by a turn or river check. I think this is a reall good line here (well not exactly but we'll get to that) because it looks like hero is ahead maybe 30-40% of the time. This is enough to continue, especially since you will often have outs if you arent ahead, but not enough to value bet with.

As for the turn check, I agree with Dane 100%. I like the check with the heart draw, but what if a blank had hit?
