Cap the flop. Call the river.

Re: River call... (4-flush board)
 

What are MP's stats? I may well be 3 betting preflop here.

I would cap this flop. As the hand played out I think a river call is fine. If I hadn't capped the flop I probably would have raised the turn looking for a "free" showdown, but it also depends on opps aggression numbers by street and does he get more aggressive in HU situations (some normally passive players do), among other things - eg is he capable of bluff betting the river if the 4th flush card hits after I raised the turn representing a flush.

Krishan posts interesting hands, but very boring titles. It's his biggest leak.

How about raising the turn?

I don't like waiting for the turn to raise when there are a gazillion cards that look ugly to you. I think it's normally best to fast play a mid-range overpair (77-JJ) on the flop

This was the original plan. I guess I didn't like the heart.

That's interesting because sometimes I find myself more prone to raise a turn (in position), when a third suit appears. Maybe this doesn't make sense.

It's not too bad because you can fold to a 3-bet (presumably). Sometimes the river goes wierd when the 4th flush comes though. Not sure of optimal play in that spot.

That's why you need to cap the flop. You aren't going to like any heart. You also won't like any A/K/5. And even T/J/Q aren't going to like very appetizing.

I don't mind K/Q/J/T at all. Saving bets when you are behind to 555 or aces up isn't a bad thing either. It's a fine line between being weak tight and saving bets.
