Default Re: Tight spot for a baby set

MP2 is semiloose-weak; button is loose-weak.
This is a tough hand to play from early position.
I checked the flop hoping for a check-raise, but with three people already in, I thought it better to wait for the turn.
The turn is definitely questionable. I could have bet it out. But I waited again because I was pretty sure someone would bet. A check-raise became appropriate when the button bet because he could have had anything and I want to improve my chances by driving out players behind me.
Criticisms? Thanks.

You need to play this fast with all of those opponents. Someone is gonna be on a heart draw. IF the flop chkecks through, you have made a mammoth error. Most likey you will get raised and you will able to 3-bet it. Jam this pot until you have reason to believe that you are behind.

Not betting the river here is bad.
