Well maybe this wasn't as donkish as I thought, the consensus seems to be to push which is what I did. Villian had K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] , oh well. I really expected to see some type of PP here most of the time. I like Swolfe's line also, waiting until the turn when I have a single heart crushed is a good idea.

Not if you're playing against an opponent that will play a flopped set,flush, two pair, one pair plus a flush draw, etc, etc in the same manner. If you feel you're going to be ahead of this particular opponent most of the time on the flop you should just 4 bet. Waiting for a safe card will certainly reduce your variance but can also result in your folding the best hand.

flopped sets and two pairs will still pay you off on the turn. in fact, they'll be happier to pay you off once the turn blanks. in a multiway pot, if a 4th heart comes, there's pretty much 0 chance that you have the best hand. the only hand that you might lose some value from is pair+[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], but if that's what they're leading the flop with, they'll probably lead the turn again and call your raise.
