Just to be clear, raising the flop is definitely +EV but in some circumstances waiting for the turn is more EV.

The two hearts and the gadgillion callers between makes the value you can get on 3rd too great to wait till the turn, IMO. 9 hearts and even 3 kings put you in bad shape on the turn.

Your thinking here is flawed. Raising the flop doesn't make it less likely that you'll hit 9 hearts or 3 Kings on the turn.
