The problem with checking the turn is that some good percentage of the time your opponent will bet. That leaves you in the position of trying to guess whether he has the flush or decided to bet a worse hand because you checked.

this is good though. we want him to bet a worse heart or a pair here. if we bet he is usually going to fold a pair. if we check he will bet a pair as often as a heart. I like c/c on the turn and if he checks behind I lead the river and try to get a call thinking we're stealing the pot.

Doing it your way means you have to call the turn and river even when you are behind a better flush. If you bet and get raised, you can usually release the hand after 1 bet.

There is also at least some chance he will call with a weaker hand if you bet.

It's not clear, but I think it's easier to play with a bet because you will know where you are.
