True but we are 6 handed here, chances are if hero checks he is going to get multiple bettors with this flop. By checkraising this flop you have excellent FE, you often can clean out your flush outs by folding a higher flush draw if one is out there.

You have a great chance of winning a decent sized pot without a showdown or being a favorite in a big pot. Beats betting out on the flop and ending up in Hero's situation or hitting a heart on the turn only to get stacked by a higher flush draw you may have cleaned out on the flop with a push.
