I'd lead the turn, if you're sure UTG+1 will bet then c/r him.

Getting good odds on the flop closing the action, I like the call. The turn was a good card for you, as it made your flush and was an overcard, and I think a check call on the turn is good, as he might fold to a check raise, and will bet the river, assuming it is non heart. I like the line, it disguises the flush well.

ok, i wasn't sure if calling with the 9 high draw was a good idea since i could be up against a higher flush draw and i might not get paid off even when my hand is good. the ace of hearts on the turn is great since i'd have to put someone on jts or t8s to think i'm behind. as it turns out villain was semi-bluffing a oesd, so that ace was a lucky card for me.

i like leading the turn. i didn't in this case because i had been pretty quiet (no cards) and i felt if i lead through the field when the obvious flush card hit no one would call, but with 3 broadway cards out someone will probably bet a little something with a hand they want to protect or perhaps take a shot at bluffing from lp.

anyway thanks for the input.
