Party 2/4 AQo MP1

No way you can fold this flop. Once the the non-heart turn gets there, I say lead at the turn. Lead at a non-heart river.

I really don't like giving a free card in this situation on the turn.

But, David, you must remember what a wise man once said, "Poker is just a series of peaks and troughs, and you don't know whether you're in a trough until you're climbing out, or on a peak until you're coming down. And that's it, you never know what's round the corner. But it's all good."

I'd say 3-bet the flop or at least lead the turn. You probably have the best hand as long as no other hearts fall.

I'm surprised this hasn't been suggested yet.

Heads up this is an easy 3 bet, and fire right back on the *REGARDLESS* of what comes on the turn.

Giving that free card on the turn was a disaster.

Even if a heart falls, I think you fire a shell into that pot. Who's got the link to Clarks Theorem?

I agree.

I just wanted to add that a made flush will very often just call the flop bet. The raise is more likely a worse hand than a better hand.

Thanks to all who responded, I appreciate the comments.

Here's what happened:

FWIW -

CO missed a bet PF, but after that played the hand well.
