I just call down. You've sandwiched CO so he's gonna call regardless with a probable draw, and it's already fairly likely you're behind MP.

Plus, if a heart hits, CO will likely bet the river here.

Isn't MP just as likely to be on a heart draw or betting a medium pair?

Gee I raise the flop, bet the turn and only fold if my turn bet is raised. If I have 2 callers on the turn and no raise, I check the river through.

I considered it, but I decided to raise any non heart turn.

Meh?

That's entirely read based. And if he's donking mid pair, just let him do it until the river.

I also raise the flop.

why exactly do you like raising the flop here rather than raising the turn or just calling down?
